By LUCAS BARASAMore by this AuthorPastoralists in Marsabit County have opposed the electoral body’s decision to allow voters to change polling stations only at the constituency headquarters. Led by Turbi-Bubisa ward representative Pius Yattani, the residents said the requirement infringes on voters' rights. Mr Yattani said pastoralists will not be able to change polling stations as they keep moving in search of water and pasture for their livestock. It is also difficult, he said, for pastoralists in Turbi to go to the constituency headquarters in North Horr, some 300 kilometres away, to change their voting station. North Horr is the largest constituency in the country by area, measuring 35,210 square kilometres.
