Pamela Wangui, who was stationed at Kihuhiro Primary School Polling Station in Kieni West Constituency, Nyeri County, was charged with contravention of the Elections Act.

The court heard that Wangui gave one John Maina five stamped presidential ballot papers and an extra-parliamentary ballot paper. Maina was also charged with illegally being in possession of stamped ballot papers at the polling booth.

The two were arrested after the presiding officer raised alarm after noticing that Maina took long at the polling booth.

The two denied the charges before Nyeri Senior Principal Magistrate James Macharia who released them on a cash bail of Sh100,000 each. The case will be mentioned on September 12th.

    Mfumo wa siasa unaoitwa "demokrasia" umekufa Marekani na pia Kenya.
    Mfumo huu ulianzia katika nchi ya Uyunani (Greece) ambako kulikuwa na watumwa ambao hawakuruhusiwa kupiga kura na isitoshe, hata wanawake pia.
    Wakati umefika sasa wa kuupiga marufuku mfumo huu na kuanzisha mwingine mpya.
    Mfumo huu ulikuwa karibu kuangamiza nchi ya Marekani Januari 6, 2021 wakati wafuasi wa Ndugu Trump waliingia huku wakitumia mabavu kwenye Jumba la Capitol kupinga siasa zilizokuwa zikiendelea humo kudhihirisha uchaguzi wa Ndugu Biden.

    They should all go to jail.

    People cannot be spending time and money campaigning and then Returning office and election clerks steal their victory or loss.
