On Tuesday, Public Service, Youth and Gender Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki decried the low voter registration in Embu County and blamed it on prolonged infighting among county leaders. The minister said only 18,000 voters had registered, against a target of 250,000. Addressing county leaders at Kangaru, Ms Kariuki said Embu risked having a low bargaining power in the next government if it continued to register a low voter turnout. Right now we have less than 230,000 registered voters,” said Ms Kariuki.
