Police in Kitengela have arrested a woman with anti-snake venom believed to be used by those who spike alcoholic drinks. The drug, commonly known as 'mchele' (rice), has a devastating sleeping effect when taken with an alcoholic drink.

The officers recovered five sachets containing 10 bottles of 3ml each of the material labelled 'puff adder'. Koskey on Wednesday said the drug has a street value of Sh30,000. "We have established that she has been trading with this drug in the country’s major cities and towns," the officer said.

He said the arrest was a breakthrough following the many cases of victims who have been drugged and robbed of their property. "When the drug is laced on a drink, a victim is rendered motionless for close to 24 hours or even more," Koskey said. The suspect was arraigned in Kajiado and was charged with five counts of illegal possession of poison contrary to Section 26 (2) of the Pharmacy and Poisons Act.

The Kenyan Constitution requires there to be a general election on the
second Tuesday in August in every fifth year. There have been
public discussions to move the date from August to December with
proponents pointing to fiscal timeline (1 July–30 June) clashing with
an August date because most ministries that support critical election
processes will not have been fully funded and that a possible
presidential runoff vote may interfere with the national examinations
calendar of October and December. Opponents of the election date
change have argued for protecting the constitutional provision and
that any change would be mired by legal challenges and may drag on
to the next elections and still require a referendum to decide, putting
the country's stability at risk.
Electoral system
The President of Kenya is elected using a modified version of the two-
round system ; in order to win in the first round, a candidate is required
to receive over 50% of the vote and 25% of the vote in at least 24
counties .
The 337 members of the National Assembly are elected by two
methods; 290 are elected in single-member constituencies by first-
past-the-post voting. The remaining 47 are reserved for women, and
are elected from single-member constituencies based on the 47
counties , also using the first-past-the-post system. [6] The 67
members of the Senate are elected by four methods; 47 are elected in
single-member constituencies based on the counties by first-past-the-
post voting. Parties are then assigned a share of 16 seats for women,
two for youth and two for disabled people based on their vote share.

2017 is Kenya's general election and there is this electoral law that was rece passed by the jubilee members of parliament and also the Senate. Jubilee has the majority members of parliament in the house and so it's very easy for them to say and do anything they wish to become of their numbers. The law that was passed allow people to vote manually if the electronic systems fail.
The opposition says it's not good for the people of Kenya but the government says it gives people opportunity to vote whether the electronic systems is working or not.
The opposition says there will be no election if the law will not be reverted but the government says election will be there whether there will be presidential candidates or not.
I'll keep an eye and let you guys know how it goes
