The CS explained that they have a multi-agency team overseeing the election process. "We have a platform where we are filing reports, we have a national command centre where in Nairobi and regional command centres and I am getting reports from each one of them. I haven't seen anything unusual," said the CS. He noted that there have been minor incidents, not related with security matters and which have amicably been solved. "The process is going well. You can see I have voted, though it is a bit slow because the number of candidates in some seats is big, but it is okay, because it's democracy," said the CS. He said he is impressed by the turn out, noting that less than an hour since the polling stations were opened, the queues were already long. "When we have an exercise of this kind in the country, we don't sleep. I have been on phone calls throughout the night. My colleagues in the security sector have not slept, we have spoken with the Inspector General of Police several times this morning," said the Interior CS. He noted that there was a standoff in Wajir, but it was an issue of the Independent Elections and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) officers and had nothing to do with security. He said in some places, the poll body experienced delays in dispatching voting materials but they assisted by deploying aerial support. He however said that it is still early and they are still talking with police across the country as they keep monitoring the security situation in the country.Rongai parliamentary elections suspended after ballot papers mix-up https://t.co/X927ruyAPj pic.twitter.com/L3hgr86VLB
