Date: Wednesday, 6 March, 2013, 15:45<div><div class="h5"><br><br><div>Hi Wangari,<br><br>Technology is not an end in itself but a means to an end, what matters is deployment. For a long time Gartner has always indicated that approximately 70 % of all major ICT projects fail, there are many factors related to the ecosystem within which the system operates that can ensure the success of any technological intervention. It takes people+processes+technology to achieve results, if this there key players are not in synch then you end up with a problem. We are all aware of the challenges IEBC went through while trying to acquire the technology, given the short span of time i did not expect a miracle out of the KITS. Globally only India and Brazil have done well in using electronic voting (i stand to be corrected), nonetheless, there are great
lessons to be learn from this election. Finally congratulations to all who voted, let us maintain peace and respect the rule of the law, love your neighbour as you love yourself.<br>
