Yes - they are right to be concerned. Any substantial fraud happens At the polling station - forget everything you heard in 2007 ati at KICC. Polling station is everything. I get it that they want verification by electronic means, it's the best way - my proposal is for those few whose fingerprints cannot be extracted is to "identify" them electronically then manually verify them with checks and balances to ensure transparency at the highest level. Everything else can be made to procedurally. we must also let the IEBC do it's job...

That is assuming that they are genuinely interested in smooth and fair elections.

A few moths ago, these guys initiated street battles to kick out IEBC commissioners. They got their wish on that - the entire commission was axed.
Now even before the process of replacing the sacked IEBC commissioners, we see hurdles on the path! Kisa na maana ni = wa-Bukusu .

As we move away from that controversy we are now dealing with - "manual back up is an avenue for rigging" allegation!
That is casting aspersions on the new IEBC team even before it is assembled!
So what was the use of kicking out Isaac Hasan and team - a matter that cost us quite heavily!

We are now putting together a team to prepare for elections in less that seven Months against all odds and wise advice!

Setting ourselves for failure! I wonder.

Does such a situation favour any of the foremost politicians!

Might it be a strategy in and of itself!

That would be good...fair and square.

I don't think there will be any point to prove, or nany name to rescue if the election is close, they will not be allowed to prove that point or even to rescue that name.
the only saving grace for IEBC will be if the victory margin is higher, otherwise I see another anti IEBC move if the margin is kidogo.
