I strongly agree with observation A. and strongly disagree with your opinion B, above highlighted.
Reasons for disagreeing being detection process is not void of manipulation.
However I may suggest that on detection, such votes should be recounted if the votes cast are valid and the process is acceptable.
The court should also not attempt curing errors of a process that the petitioners have not suggested solutions to prior and turned down before voting is done. Actually, the candidates should not purport to investigate a system of their own interest but encourage their agents to go before the law as complainants within stipulated time after which the supreme court should merge and entertain to hear the case with the candidates being interested parties. Candidates should not petition for process error unless personally wronged will participating in the voting.

All contesting candidates and the voters know the weakness of the system and therefore should prior to voting agree on the minimum acceptable criteria as may be from time to time.

Casting process involves human voter, the machines, venue, supervisors and the oversights. Machines may be error free but human is to error.
Otherwise, lets dwell in court and allow Uhuru to be the president to perpetuity as well wait for the perfect human race(angles) to come and design the process cast, supervise and accept the results.

jpg files do not change but u can change the source upon which its ment to be based. changing the original document will change the image taken and uploaded. further, you can opt to read or transmit the wrong result.

Each form 34A, 34B and 34c should have a digital signature such that they can not be replaced with fake ones and that only that with the right signature that the scan can pick the image from. this is above water marks and serialization of the forms.

such forms should be identifiable and be unique to each polling station and candidature(thumbs up for iebc on this). Adulteration of the forms should be investigated as criminal offences that attract maximum punishment prescribed in the constitution such as treason or sedition.

It should be compulsory for Pos, dpos and polling clerks to sign form 34A whether agents sign or not. They are the first witness and should detect errors in the first places and thus must be put to account.

Errors detected at the polling station should be categorized as those that may be avoidable or inherent system errors. Avoidable errors should lead to cancellation of the result if can not be rectifiable unless through a re-vote. If rectifiable, rectify and proceed to pass the result to the next stage. the stage should adhere to a similar accept or reject criteria. Inherent errors should be noted and vote accepted for validation as true results. Committing an avoidable error should attract punishment if not rectified once given the chance to rectify. Un-rectified rectifiable errors can be suctioned for rectification by the court as necessary, otherwise supreme court to supervise the process.

Wacha watu wote wasikizane kuiba, kama sio hivyo mwanaume alambishwe sakafu. Ukiwa na agents vigeugeu bahati mbaya kwako.

Kalonzo's starship got wrecked when he joined ODM and he was warned against that. Right now his political survival is in a downward spiral. The fellow does not even seem to be in control of anybody or anything in wiper. Very tragic indeed.

ROs had nothing to do with presidential votes. P.Os had. probably a RO would only have facilitated.
P.Os did supervise the voting and made voting possible after logistical support by ros.
p.os counted and filled watermarked forms 34As, signed uploaded the figures to kiems, scanned form 34As and transmitted the results both to national, county and constituency tallying centers. Presidential votes were only tallied at national tallying centre. Each po surrendered signed original and duplicate forms 34A to CRO for compilation, filling and onward transmission a process that took some time and not by 0130am at the night of the polling when things are claimed to have gone haywire.
All forms 34A were verifiable to be correctly uploaded via iebc portal. so, each p.o should have taken cognisance of the errors and taken necessary rectification measures. Other stakeholders were also free to do the same.
mimi sio mwalimu wako, get to know the process.

Quote; ROs had nothing to do with presidential votes..Did you actually write this?

ROs had everything to do about the votes. After counting and Tallying at the Polling center,Results are declared by the RO.
The main problem is that the PO may erroneously transmit the wrong document via KIEMs but present a correct one to the RO. What can cure this?

Who is smarter now Kenyans with our ICT system or Gambians with their marbles?


We just have a lot of ujuaji but are in real sense we are not very smart, I guess that is what Kibaki was trying to tell us but we did not listen. Nchi pumbavu.

Let us not complicate simple things.

This system has worked for more than 50 years in Gambia and even a dictator could not rig himself in.



Even if there is a dispute the Supreme court does not need to hear about algorithms and deminimis. Everything is very clear.

David Ndii must be carrying out a social experiment and using SKM and RAO as the Guinea pigs. Otherwise how can you explain a former Premier and VP doing such a thing on a live broadcast.
