Four men were on Thursday charged with having dangerous weapons in preparation to commit a felony at a polling station. They allegedly committed the offence on April 30 at Old Mathare Primary School polling station in Nairobi. They said the suspects took advantage of the huge crowd and wanted to cause chaos to steal from people. The arresting officers said youths in Mathare area have been using public gatherings and polling stations to steal from voters. "We have heard many cases of goons stealing from people during campaigns and at polling stations especially in Mathare and Kariobangi area," the prosecution said.
