Erik,

 

I think this is where Kictanet Secretariat can kick in and show  relevance
in such a critical moment, where the

nation seems to find itself waiting with abated breath, or can we mandate
Erik to do this on behalf..?

 

Does the IT team there understand the system deployed and now operational
under their watch..? If so, can 

the ICT fraternity  through our Secretariat write officially to get an
understanding on what is happening, how 

it works?  The flowchart on the system that guarantees integrity of the
process despite these happenings..?

 

Oh by the way, could the PS have some input.....?  The days when we could
spend time groping around in pitch 

darkness are so long gone, or is it ...?

 

Harry

My thoughts exactly Dennis.  Having the facts on how, who and what allows us
to understand the situation.

 

I'm not sure why it's an issue to try and gather that information,
especially when no one at the IEBC is openly sharing it.

With a BBC journalist tweeting " "@ggatehouse: Deputy chair of IEBC told me
cannot rule out the theory their system was hacked. At the moment they
simply don't know. #Kenyadecides" and a local media house running a story
alleging hacking yesterday, we do need facts. 

There are people out there peddling info claiming a certain group hacked
into the servers, complete with provisional results "analysis" to show the
same.  

This really doesn't put us in a pretty information where we can afford to
sit and wait.
