[h=5][/h]Narc-Kenya presidential candidate Martha Karua has criticised the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission ( IEBC) for providing malfunctioning Biometric Voter Registers (BVR) in Kirinyaga County.
Ms Karua wondered why the commission had provided faulty machines, which forced election officials at her Mugumo Primary School polling station to resort to use of manual registers.
Speaking to the Press moments after casting her ballot outside the station, Karua noted voting was delayed for more than half an hour. After waiting for half an hour due to the technical hitch the BVR machines have experienced, I have finally cast my vote, she said. The presidential candidate also reiterated that whatever the outcome of the results, she will still remain a Kenyan.
