Tyranny of course

What are Cord's proposals for a contingency plan should the digital system fail and we all know technology does fail from time to time excluding foul play. This should be common sense. It looks like Cord is looking for any reason to disrupt the elections

I have seen the proposed amendment and it's very clear that, the proposed changes will carter for areas where 3G/network is not available and in case of power failure.The rider is the IEBC will have to gazette such in two dailies at least two days prior to such pronouncements and this will be public information signed by all political parties/agents or reps. Lemme ask now. What is wrong with that? Let's chose the law but if it's some drama we are after, i would tell baba, bring it on!. We have been very short lately.

I am tech-nothing but it's nice to know that there are alternatives which can be thrown into the amendments and so we can have a more sensible law better than what Jubilee is proposing. That's not what we are being told by those opposing. I was mildly amused when Babu asked Gladys Wanga to bring along enough water for the day.Let's go to the streets anyway. The script is very familiar.

Baba's strategy is simple. Insist on 100% digital process. Of course this may not work in some areas, or may be deliberately made to fail by ODM in some areas, making the election results invalid and therefore paving the way for power sharing.

The way i see it and sorry to say this, after the elections, we will slaughter each other. We are perfectly set up for that thanks to baba.

Wamefika...

yet again the narrative that "technology solves problems" is retold as truth. TECHNOLOGY DOES NOT SOLVE PROBLEMS BUT RATHER THINKING SOLVES PROBLEMS.

Even in your office, you have a fall back plan incase technology fails. Things do not come to a standstill just because the system is down.

Even when the ATM fails or your ATM card PIN doesn't work and thus you cannot be "identified and served digitally", the bank has a back up plan whereby you can walk into the bank and be identified "manually" with your ID and given your cash. That is all they are saying regarding this amendment. Voting or transmission of results should not stop just because the gadget battery went down, or the gadget hanged, or broke down or was even stolen, or fell from the table and hit the concrete floor and malfunctioned, or someone spilled his soda on the gadget and it went kapput. If in the US they did manual voting in some polling stations how do we expect to have a 100% digital election in our 3rd world country, a country where some areas dont have power or mobile phone coverage and some have issues with bandits, cattle rustlers and terrorists?

the truth is much more interesting... both CORD and Jubilee are wrong and off the mark on this one. We are conditioned to somehow think one of them is right and another is wrong. at least one of them knows what they are saying... the truth is none of these numb skulls know anything about what they are taking about! They have created their own alternative universe that they argue in and suck all of you into...

Facts:
2013 was not "rigged digitally"
Michael Yard is not "rigging" anything at IEBC. He is a manager for crying out loud.
