Hi David Interesting question. I was pondering the same early this week and my answer is yes. The issue would be the process of getting there and I think we have a number. The best would be if it's anchored in the constitution. Meaning that should there be any process to amend the IEBC section, then the sector should consider adding their voice to it. The second is to Parliament and the select committee that oversees this process. A memo to them, quite early in their process should suffice. The same can also be sent to the President. The last is to encourage colleagues to put their names out there when the time comes. A representative process closer to the IPPG one could also work, if such an opportunity arises or legal revisions lend themselves to it.

In our latest series of blogs about the 2022 Kenya Election as authored by Mr John Walubengo, we are posing a question:
"IEBC Commission: Should We Reserve a Slot for an ICT Professional?
Mr Walubengo notes that "In all the past three presidential petitions (2013, 2017a, and 2017b), ICT seems to have been central to the Supreme Court’s final decision. However, the way ICT matters were prosecuted, one could almost say the ICT was on trial."
