It has now been expanded to include transmission of election results "where technology deployed initially fails".

<br>
Dear Listers,<br>
<br>
I am at that position where I feel very lost. In fact, I feel like I am<br>
quite detached from the reality.<br>
<br>
All along, I have keenly considered this matter that seems to have divided<br>
the country down the middle: *Manual Backup* during the 2017 voting<br>
process. From the Jubilee/govt side this is a do or die and so it must be<br>
there. This govt side seems hell-bent on confusing the masses, as well as<br>
the experts like the ICT Community. From the Opposition side, the agenda<br>
seems to be very clear - that of ensuring integrity of the Voters Register<br>
and stopping 'ghost voters' from ever casting their votes.<br>
<br>
That brings us to the famous acronyms - BVI (Biometric Voter Register) /<br>
BVI (Biometric Voter Identification).<br>
Having been to a Voter Registration Centre (later to become a Polling<br>
Station) to register as a voter, I did look at the equipment in use for the<br>
registration process. I saw the laptop which was fitted with a camera and<br>
fingerprints scanner. All these require power to run. I did not dwell on<br>
how they were powered, but probably there was a battery backup somewhere<br>
(besides the electricity) given that they needed to run for a whole day for<br>
several days during the voter registration process. When it comes to the<br>
Elections, they only need to run for about 11 hours. My point here is that<br>
of *Backup Power* should it be that there's electricity blackout and the<br>
built-in batteries can't last the whole day. That backup is very important.<br>
<br>
However, I did not see any piece of equipment which could suggest that the<br>
equipment in use required any form of connectivity back to some central<br>
server in order to function! Which now brings me to the currently national<br>
debate - Manual Backup during the Poll Day. What is it? Was the CS honest<br>
with his presentation before the Senate/Amos Wako committee yesterday? Does<br>
the CS himself really believe in the content of his presentation? I am<br>
asking that because I watched him and I don't believe him. I actually think<br>
he mislead the committee, and hence the nation at large.<br>
<br>
Someone please prove me wrong. I am at that point where I believe that the<br>
BVR/BVI does NOT require any form of connectivity and so this Manual Backup<br>
being touted by the ruling coalition side, strongly supported by the ICT<br>
CS is a big lie. WHY?<br>
<br>
My very first answer: Simply put, *when there was no requirement for a<br>
manual backup during voter registration, it goes without saying that there<br>
is NO NEED for on the polling day.*<br>
<br>
<br>
1. For the issue that is in contention - BVR (used for BVI during polling)<br>
- this is a database that can be (and should be) statically stored on the<br>
equipment for each polling station. We are not supposed to rely on the<br>
Mobile Network to access this voters database. And every polling station<br>
can have two/three laptops/Biometrics scanner/Backup batteries to ensure<br>
that the voter identification doesn't fail.<br>
Some excuse has been fronted about some voters being mechanics, such that<br>
their fingerprints wouldn't be recognized by the BVI systems hence need for<br>
manual identification. My take on that is that every voter must carry their<br>
voter's card on that day. The clerks can check that card number against the<br>
electronic system - enter it, and it will bring the person's picture, ID<br>
number, etc and let him cast his ballot.<br>
<br>
2. For electronics results transmission (ERT), this is not even necessary<br>
in the first place. We can have the results collated/announced at the<br>
tallying centres after being certified - forms 36A, and such. However, if<br>
the ERT must be done, the data footprint is so tiny that a 2G network can<br>
be used. Besides, it can be an SMS based system, which doesn't require 3G<br>
or VSAT. The results data isn't that large - it can't be in Megabytes to be<br>
sincere. Well, VSAT can be used if they MUST, but this is after the voting<br>
process itself is complete, has nothing to do with BVI.<br>
<br>
The ERT and the BVR/BVI are two distinct systems. That is what I want to<br>
believe. The ERT gets feedback from a manual process - of voters casting<br>
their vote, clerks/agents counting, verifying, and certifying, filling<br>
requisite forms then communicating the same via some customized phones<br>
which are programmed to communicate to a backend system. Am I right on<br>
that??<br>
<br>
Now the big question here is, where do we need this much touted manual<br>
backup where network connectivity is being used as the major reason???<br>
<br>
(a) Citing terrorism and the possibility of Al Shabaab knocking off base<br>
stations seems like well thought out lie meant to cover our eyes! If they<br>
attacked an area, I doubt there will be voting in the 1st place.<br>
And even so, the network connectivity is not required for BVI so there<br>
is no disenfranchising anyone if there is no manual backup (whatever that<br>
is).<br>
<br>
(b) Citing hacking is neither here nor there for a BVR/BVI system because<br>
it's not being accessed live during the voting. It's a static database,<br>
unique to the polling station, resident on the laptop used by the clerks.<br>
The only hacking that can be done then can only be by an "insider". Quoting<br>
Victor Kapiyo from Social Media, "*I guess it's a question of trust. Trust<br>
in systems and in trustworthy people to do the right thing. For M-Pesa, or<br>
KCSE results, we trust both. For IEBC, I guess the jury is still out*."<br>
<br>
The main issue is not allowing the dead voters to rise again to vote in the<br>
presidential vote, then disappear. So the important component here is the<br>
BVR/BVI, the credibility of the register and hence the vote.<br>
<br>
At what point does the BVI system require this connectivity they are<br>
talking about, which then necessitates the so called "manual backup"?<br>
<br>
Did the CS ICT lie to the Senate?? Did the CAK lie to the Senate in<br>
supporting the lie from the CS??<br>
<br>
There is insincerity in this whole debate about 'manual backup' and the ICT<br>
community seems to either support it or is simply lost in the pool of<br>
confusion being peddled by politicians.<br>
<br><br>
