[kictanet] Electronic Voting Plan on Track is this another White elephant in the offing ?

[Barrack Otieno]

Listers,

Looking at the daily Nation on Page 6, i can see the IIEC has embarked on an
e-voting project. Having studied the subject, i learnt that the US failed
miserably in the 2000 election which it tried to conduct the electronic way,
the election was marred by many irregularities, and as a matter of fact some
results were nullified by the courts. The only countries that have succeeded
in evoting to an extent are Brazil and India and this is because a Multi
stakeholder approach was used to ensure there was voter trust and
willingness to use the system, already one of the bidders is crying foul at
tendering stage,is this an indicator of more trouble to come. What are your
thoughts, this  is a matter of National importance if the events of 2007 are
anything to go by?
