[kictanet] electronic results Referendum system..

[Wamuyu Gatheru]

Am not so sure that the system was a success. Over one third of polling stations 
failed to transmit electronically for various reasons including poor network 
(5,964 failed of a total of 20,750 polling stations). This would be chaos for a 
general election.
 
regards,
Wamuyu  
Listers,

I hope the success is 'Institutionalised' and  is not a sporadic wave as has 
been the case before :-), this is the only way it can be replicated, otherwise 
thumbs up to the IIEC and all who made it possible for the referendum to 
succeed.

Best Regards
