I am not talking about the polling station - each polling station is different! right? strong holds have their challenges but these challenges should not be extrapolated to be challenges on the whole process. The straight and narrow has been devised to cater for most of the challenges you are talking about. how? each candidate in running is supposed to have his/her agent in situ. elections are stakeholder things. On the KU thingy. I never understood the claim, possibly because i know the process. Let me ask - right! there were 'rumors' of electoral materials being destroyed in KU... ok? in whose custody were these materials? if there was a petition and a judge ordered to have the thing that happened to Kethi's case - how would it be done? these things are sealed with a tamper evident seal and there is no way of opening them - monkeying around with stuff then closing them again. if that happened on your watch - utaona chamtema kuni. Kuna jamaa ako na kesi ya conspiracy to steal a registration slip worth 5/=. Let me ask... so has anyone thought of a scenario where you actually get 100% of persons who registered to vote 'showing up' to vote? eh? it could be some flag on some database in there that says "verified". <- set all to 'true'. Eh? coz u trust the tech too much. what if it tells you that's the case? Utajua aje it's not? if you don't trust the IEBC to conduct this election there is no way you can justify to yourself that 'the result was legit'.

you cannot speak for all polling stations. I remember the discussions that were happening during the Malindi and Kericho by-elections. when results from Kericho "a county" were being transmitted "faster" than what Malindi was transmitting. I kept on saying... each polling station is unique. it's like your house... if 100 houses are given tasks to do 'within their compounds' e.g. cook, feed the babies, wash them, get them ready for sleep. Why would we think the area with 100 houses will finish the task faster than that with 1000 houses? the numerical number outside the house neither makes the process within one house faster or slower. what matters is the participants in that house. do you have problematic children, do you have mboch anajivuta? your mboch's speed of cooking has nothing to do with how many other mboches are cooking in her vicinity. So polling stations are ALL UNIQUE. what happens in their locality is unique.

My question is, how can we as a country have one credible voter register? Is it possible in Africa?
