No one is talking about 2G and Satellite phone coverage. Isn't most of the country covered by 2G? Does it mean we suddenly can't transmit data over 2G which we used to before 3G? Interesting that the same Safaricom whose Mpesa can't be hacked by Al Shabaab can have electoral results transmission hacked (According to CS Joe Mucheru)! Are we suddenly analogue because elections are approaching?<br><br>Could experts here appear before the senate committee on Elections Act next week and save this country from an impending calamity driven by ignorance around ICT?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(102,0,0)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(102,0,0)">a bewildered Edwin Kiama!</div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(102,0,0);display:inline"><br></div></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#660000" size="2" face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">Thoughts become things... choose the good ones!</font></span><br></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#660000" size="2" face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"><br></font></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#660000" size="2" face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B34yPkWOLZB1dFl4QzlYOWVQZ2c&revid=0B34yPkWOLZB1SzNRY092UitlcGJua2JvOGwwVFJuOUJHQjY4PQ" width="200" height="187"><br></font></span></div><div><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(102,0,0);display:inline"><br></div></div><div><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif;font-size:small;display:inline"><strong style="font-size:13px"><strong><font color="#660000" style="background-color:rgb(248,248,248)">------------------------------</font><font color="#660000" style="background-color:rgb(248,248,248)">------------------------------</font><font color="#660000" style="background-color:rgb(248,248,248)">------------------------------</font><font color="#660000" style="background-color:rgb(248,248,248)">-------------</font><br></strong></strong><strong><font color="#660000" size="4">Social Justice Entrepreneur, Human Rights Defender, </font></strong></div></div><div><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif;font-size:small;display:inline"><strong><font color="#660000" size="4">#DevolutionIsRevolution Champion</font></strong><strong style="font-size:13px"><strong><font color="#0b5394"><span style="background-color:rgb(248,248,248)"><br></span></font></strong></strong></div></div><div><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif;font-size:small;display:inline"><strong style="font-size:13px"><strong><font color="#0b5394"><span style="background-color:rgb(248,248,248)">The</span><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"> </span><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Wanjiku Agenda Kenya Foundation (WAKenya)</font></font></strong><br></strong><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(248,248,248)">Ordinary, fearless Kenyans.</span></div></div><div><div style="display:inline"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif" color="#660000"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/wanjikurevolutionkenya" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/wanjikurevolutionkenya</a></font></div></div><div><div style="display:inline"><a href="https://twitter.com/WanjikuRevolt" target="_blank"><font color="#660000">https://twitter.com/WanjikuRevolt</font></a></div></div><div><div style="display:inline"><font color="#660000"><a href="https://plus.google.com/u/1/+WanjikuMapinduzi/posts" target="_blank">https://plus.google.com/u/1/+WanjikuMapinduzi/posts</a></font></div></div><div><div style="display:inline"><a href="http://www.scribd.com/wmkenya" target="_blank">http://www.scribd.com/wmkenya</a><br></div></div><div><div style="display:inline"><br style="background-color:rgb(248,248,248)"><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif;background-color:rgb(248,248,248)">"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world.
