The county's Education Board has overturned the governor's proposal to relocate Voi Girls High School to Ore Forest land in the outskirts of Voi town to pave way for the implementation of the multi-billion shilling standard gauge railway project.
In overruling Governor John Mruttu's proposal on Monday, the board said the forest land is of great cultural significance for the Taitas as it is one of the community's worshipping sites.
