Mombasa Women representative becomes the latest leader to call for ‘sexual’ starvation against men who fail to register as voters in the last mass voter registration exercise before August’s elections.
Similar calls were made by Orange Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga when he visited Homabay County late last year.
Some regions have also employed shocking methods of making people register with some even denying people access to public service vehicles in case they are not registered.
“We need numbers and to attain that, we must make our men register. It’s time we deny them conjugal rights so that they are compelled to register,” she told a gathering in Mombasa on Monday.
“We have people who can propel opposition to power and as women; we must play a pivotal role. That is the best strategy to make them register,” she added.
In some regions particularly in Nyanza, non-registered eligible voters are denied access to purchase basic commodities, something that has reportedly compelled them to visit registration centres.
