Sick people in Murang'a yesterday were ferried to polling centres by ambulances provided by the county government. Ten patients were taken to Kiboi Primary School, with some being lifted from the ambulances to the station. There were long queues in many parts, with thousands of voters flocking to polling centres as early as 2am. At Gatura Primary School, Gatanga constituency, the machines jammed after only 10 people had voted in one station. The same challenge was experienced in Muchagara Primary School, Maragua constituency, where voting stalled in one station after the KIEMS machines malfunctioned.
