Garissa is very tight less than 100 votes separating Nathif Jama and Korane.

I guess Chebukati is planning to pronounce the presidential vote winner in the night to manage the anticipated running amok of goons.


The best thing that Chebukati did to ease tensions is to allow the numbers to go live even as he waits to do the final announcement which will be a big anticlimax because people have already accepted. It will be very difficult even for Baba to call mass action. Even the most die hard Baba supporter who believes votes have been stolen will look at that 1.4 million vote difference and just give up. Governors,MPs and MCAs who have already won have no incentive to cause problems. The only people who are invested in Baba winning and do not have anything now are Muthama and Jymmy Wah-Nje-geh and they do not have any masses to mobilize.


It will take time for IEBC to announce.. i predict between 1-2-3 days from now at best (most likely Friday or Sat so people should go back to work kesho (those who haven't).

How much weight does the middle name have? These ones made sure to include it.

Esther Muthoni Passaris

Rachel Wambui Shebesh

Lee Maiyani Kinyanjui



Also note that both Uhuru and Raila dropped their middle names.

This article seems to point to the DB not being an Oracle one. http://www.the-star.co.k...e-in-iebc-kits_c1557396

The software is supposed to be used alongside the election equipment, the Kenya Integrated Elections Management System, delivered by French firm Safran Identity and Security that was awarded the tender.

READ: IEBC settles for Safran for poll equipment, says deadlines must be met

CEO Ezra Chiloba yesterday however said there was no issue on the software powering the KIEMS technology for verification.

“The kits do not run on Oracle neither do they need an Oracle licence to operate.


KIEMS KITS i.e. the ones you saw in the polling station don't use Oracle. These kits call home and all of that data lands somewhere... that "somewhere" is where the "hacking" is supposed to have happened.

Exactly. So that somewhere runs on?


That 'somewhere' is the RTS database which runs on a database which could be either MS SQL or Oracle. Also note that there is the main KIEMS DB which contains voter biometrics and all other details. This most likely is Oracle because of the intensity of tables and transactions it handles which MS SQL won't handle well

what intensity?


Easy masukush, probably he meant size. Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

Thanks Murchr, yes I meant size( attributes of about 20m voters-image,ID,Sex,Polling station details etc)

No. They can't start giving periodic updates all over again as the law doesn't require that and for obvious reasons.

It was embarrassing to seem RAO get shuffled off the stage yesterday by his handlers.
RAO's ignorance on many matters and especially in Technical matters is being exploited to railroad him onto another dead-end mission so his sycophants can keep getting crumbs to gnaw.

His whole premise of hacking is based on this easily debunked notion that "Hackers" used a supposedly nefarious application to change the database. RAO states ["... They introduced several programs ..( xpstar.dll...).. "]:

Anyone can easily verify that the application in question "XPSTAR.DLL" is actually developed by Microsoft and is used to access databases. It's presence is not only expected, but probably required for normal operations.

Time to go home RAO, thanks for a good run while it lasted.


The people who cheat RAO on computer matters totally disrespect him. You don't embarrass your grandfather in public

Sorry, Murchr but the guy who wrote that needs to learn a bit more about hacking. I don't know who even "easily debunked" that. But I can assure you that there's a hacking book dedicated to xpstar.dll . You can google if you wish.

I told you not to listen to IT fellas.They can tell you a lot of stuff depending on how much they are being paid.

Are you saying xpstar.dll is not required in a Microsoft database? Can a Microsoft database (Access, SqlServer,) run without it?


While at it, did you note the supposed logs have an April 2010 date on them?
