Kenyatta University students on Friday went on the rampage after unused election materials were discovered in the institution.
The students smashed windows and broke into the Business Students Service Centre where the materials had been kept.
However, the administration explained that the materials were in a room that had been used as a tallying centre by the IEBC.
The commission had hired the university facilities
from February 22 to March 15 and election officials were to clear up
yesterday when the rental ended.
The IEBC materials included jackets, stamps, marker pens, ballot boxes, ballot papers for presidential, governor and women representative for Nairobi County.

Unless the students found actual unused ballots, this is a non-starter!
I do hope there are no riots. From what I saw, the police and military are very well trained. I am praying things do not get out of hand.
In other news, the VOA reports that Raila will be filing his election challenge on Saturday
After the Supreme Court receives the petitions, it will have 14 days to make a ruling.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human rights has congratulated the government and people of Kenya for the broadly successful national elections on March 4. Press Briefing on Kenya
And of course, everyone is reading Ngugi A Dictator's Last Laugh. In a moment of irony, everything in Kenya comes for full circle. The funding for my dissertation was, let us say, suboptimal. Accordingly, I did a stint at Kabarak University for nearly two years in Eldama Ravine, Nakuru, Rift Valley. I taught a book by Ngugi to one of my courses on writing, sort of to stick it to Old Man Moi, who would ride around in a blue van, with a rose corsage in his smart suit. But that, my friends, is a different story.
If things can cool down, maybe I will have a minute to write about technology! Here is a teaser IEBC and CORD ordered to agree on documents (Daily Nation)

Cord has also withdrawn a demand that Safaricom release a printout of
all messages sent through the hand-held transmission devices; contracts
signed with IEBC in connection with the General Election and
information transmitted to the IEBC server on March 4 and 5.
Safaricom welcomed the withdrawal of the petition.
That would have been a lot of text messages . . .
