As voting continues in the Lakezone Ward Member of County Assembly (MCA) by-election in Turkana North, area MP Hon. Paul Nabuin has denied viral social media claims that he assaulted a woman, calling the reports a politically motivated smear campaign.

"For the incident that I have seen on social media, it is a smear campaign against me, which started before [the] by-election, propagated by Governor Jeremiah Lomorkai and his team, claiming I punched a certain lady. It's not true," Nabuin said.
