[kictanet] Has the ICT Sector Failed?

[william janak]

Daktari, the possibility of sabotage in a highly contested and complex elections such as this cannot be ruled out until all the results are announced and all players agree there were no issues. Even in the case of the spoilt votes, you must have read or heard of various claims related to that. there is alot of apprehension over this election and we can only remain cautiously optimistic.

Janak.

David,
A lot has been said in the social media trying to advance different theories of. Why the systems failed  but what will matter are the final vote count. These were just provisional results that were to be verified before announcing the winner and were to be transmitted within a given time.  Electronic results were to be like exit polls.  There were human errors that should not have happened.  Look at the number of spoilt votes.  Can we say it was sabotage?

Ndemo.

Why is this being addressed as IT "failure" and not "sabotage"?. I would think failure is when a system "fails" to function according to its intended or programmed purpose and not when its "functioning" is interfered with so as to derail it from performing the set task.
