It is here- the date circled by many Kenyans on their calender. It is the day day people take to the polls to have their final say on the future of the nation.
Voting for the the proposed Constitution commenced at 5 a.m. with 27,000 polling stations being set up; some stations experiencing a delay due to unforeseeable transportation hiccups.
All in all, queues have been long and consisted of many eager voters. The ambiance at polling stations was tranquil. Hope filled the faces of many voters.
The government has tightened security around the country, with each polling station overlooked by the police.
The media along with influential members of the government have commended the public for carrying out voting in such a harmonious manner.
Polling stations are meant to close at 5 p.m, with some stations staying open for a while longer in order to accommodate the lost time due to the hiccups.
Both camps seem to be confident on the outcome of th result. One thing to bear in mind is that this is no competition but the foundation to a better future. Irrespective of the outcome of the votes, peace has to prevail.
Let us hope for the best. I will be back with the results of the votes tomorrow. Till then, have a blessed day!
So HJ gives us an update of the situation? How are things unfolding?
