Migori elders want to be consulted over boundaries

Elders from Nyatike Constituency in Migori County have faulted the government for demarcating locations and divisions in the region without consulting them.

The elders, led by retired chief Herman Ogutu, said that the demarcation process is a sensitive one and hence the need to involve them.

Speaking to Radio Ramogi Monday, they said that the move by the government to carry on the process without involving them is contrary to the practice as they have a better understanding of the area.

Ogutu further noted that the creation of boundaries without consultation with the elders would lead to chaos between the communities living in the area.

The elders now want the process halted until consultations are done and communities satisfied with it.
