Herders illegally grazing their animals at the Tsavo National Park are a security threat to tourists and wildlife, conservationists have warned. Speaking during the official launch of the roadshow, Mnyazi said she is optimistic they would exceed the 100,000 voters targeted. Herders have invaded Laikipia and Nyeri counties, despite warnings and deadlines from the government. Tourists visiting Tsavo complain that they pay hefty park entry fees only to see herds of cattle and herders. In four months, about 10,000 pastoralists from Baringo, Isiolo and Samburu counties with around 135,000 cattle have invaded Laikipia.
