A mob of rowdy youths on Friday destroyed ballot boxes and papers at Kiamugumo Primary School polling centre in Kirinyaga county during the Jubilee Party primaries. They stormed the polling centre at 2pm just as voting was about to begin and overpowered the two officers on guard. On Thursday, Kirinyaga county commander Joseph Nthenge had promised to provide security in all polling stations. Kirinyaga county JP coordinator Martin Mwangi could not explain to the Star the cause of the delay, only saying it was caused by “a few problems”. Kirinyaga Central MP aspirant Beth Ngunyi told the Star the polling is not credible and neither is it free and fair.
