[kictanet] Storm over IEBC tech dry run failure rate

[Victor Kapiyo]

The civil society is concerned about the electoral agency’s preparedness to
conduct the August 9 General Election.

The concerns came after more than half of the polling stations identified
for the testing of a new results transmission system (RTS) failed.

Only 1,200 polling stations successfully transmitted data, out of the 2,900
selected for the system’s dry run. The simulation exercise recorded a 59
per cent failure rate, further fuelling doubts on the Independent Electoral
and Boundaries Commission’s (IEBC) readiness to conduct the next elections,
which are only 53 days away.
