I mean how do you replace paper with an old skull computer then chest thumb that ur updated. Its just too shallow for a 55% of Kenyans who claim to be educated or rather literate too be hoodwinked. I have always thought smthig was a miss especially when in a connected world someone literally claims they cannot communicate with others in the other end of the world. Something that I do everyday in less than a minute..(claim dat they are incapable of haandling the exercise from foreign ground )<br>

interview on Radio Citizen this morning and it came out from the IIEBC representative that the BVR
kits are not networked. This confirmed my suspicion the day I went to
register as a voter. After looking and missing seeing any device that
would provide network connectivity on the equipment, I asked the clerks
if the voters details are updated in the central database realtime and
their answer was a NO. They send a flash disk to some place every
evening to have the records updated on something. And the way I thought
this was a "connected" (networked) system. No wonder the minister said
the Diaspora will not vote this time round. IIEBC says otherwise, but
don't say how they will vote. Kenyans WERE CONNED. These are standalone
electronic records, we just did put paper away, but I can bet my life
the system can be manipulated to serve sinister interests. My take on
this nonsense called BVR. Nonsense!</span></span></span></font></h5>-- <br>Best regards,<br>Odhiambo WASHINGTON,<br>Nairobi,KE<br><a href="tel:%2B254733744121" value="+254733744121" target="_blank">+254733744121</a>/<a href="tel:%2B254722743223" value="+254722743223" target="_blank">+254722743223</a><br>
