[kictanet] IEBC acts to avert Safaricom exit from poll contract

[Walubengo J]

@Bob, @Waita

A big-up for Safaricom for putting pressure on IEBC to ensure their technical/ICT systems are in order. If we want to reform our electoral institution, I think this is the way to go - as opposed to disbanding them :-)  


I hope you get IEBC to use the Results Transmission System so that we can know the winner by the time we take dinner this friday evening.

The electoral commission has formed a technical team to 
negotiate with Safaricom, after the latter pulled out of a contract for 
live transmission of results for the Makueni by-election.

Leading mobile provider 
Safaricom announced it had pulled out of the deal with the Independent 
Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) over confidence issues with 
the level of preparedness of the commission for the Makueni senatorial 
by-election.
