2017 elections. As part of the registration, all voters gave their<br>
biometrics [2], which included all fingerprints, and facial features.<br>
All this data will be preloaded on the voting devices that will be<br>
distributed in over 45,000 polling stations. Assuming two devices per<br>
polling station, that is 90,000 devices in the hands of 90,000<br>
different people with access to biometric data of 19.7 million<br>
Kenyans.<br>
<br>
IEBC gave a contract to a French firm to implement the different<br>
aspects of electronic voting. Is the 18m biometric information now in<br>
the hands of foreign agents? Are there any data protection mechanisms<br>
to secure biometric data of the citizenry?<br>
<br>
This is why Data protection and privacy laws should be a big debate<br>
going forward. The MAG can find a proper way of framing these<br>
concerns.<br>
