[kictanet] IEBC - 2022 - Training suggestions, tallying, transmission simulations, animations

[S.M. Muraya]

For years some of us have made suggestions, which if heeded to, would make
things much easier for IEBC & Kenyans.

(i) No foreign firm should be issued a major technology contract without
local partners - Firms owned by Kenyans, well known to be passionate about
technology. Training also works best with people who can relate well to
each other.

Next time, IEBC could work with digischools to train returning officers on
how to use tablets for scanning, transmitting documents.

http://icta.go.ke/digischool/teacher-capacity/ >> So far 80,980 teachers
have been trained.

(ii) Competitions should be held to encourage interested and capable
Kenyans to create educational/instructional animations.

Simple animation/apps can guide "returning and presiding officers" on how
to properly use the technology at their disposal. It may even work better
than video conferencing in areas where there are bandwidth issues.

Procurement challenges/requirements (including fraud) has always kept
talented Kenyans from contributing their skills to developing transparency
and accountability in Kenya. We should use competitions, awarding up to KES
100 million to winning teams.
