Kivuva, so stoked you are in<br><br>Folks, if we could get about 10 or 20 of us, this could be very powerful. First of all, folks can report on how elections are going at their polling station. Second, we can keep track of hate speech from all sides. Further, we can discuss and monitor television shutdowns, twitter shutdowns, etc. Also, we can comment on how technology is used to transmit votes, and verify them. <br>
<br>The ideal situation is to have multiple people of different ethnicities. <br><br>Yours, Warigia<div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 4:00 PM, Kivuva <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Kivuva@transworldafrica.com" target="_blank">Kivuva@transworldafrica.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

This is a brilliant idea. Count me in.<br>
<br>
We pray to have peaceful elections. We hope the new IG will coordinate<br>
with all security agents to maintain law and order. From the recent<br>
nominations, its clear that we still have people not keen on<br>
maintaining the peace.<br>
