Now that we have a court decision that clears the matter of the presidency, perhaps it is now time to remove the emotions of the decision, turn away from politics and get down to the core issues in real institutional management and those surrounding the processes and the people around the IEBC lest we sit back and get through another four years and put together another unit in the last year of the 5 and go back to the same merry go round.
WarigaThanks for sharing. I enjoyed the read. I want to however object to the words:-'...the election results show that technology has failed them.'
I humbly submit that what failed us in this case is a mix of partisan politicking, a knack for jostling to see how each proponent could manipulate the process for their own benefit and lastly the failure of the IEBC leadership to accept and tell Kenyans to our faces that the most expensive technology ever bought for elections in Kenya (and Probably Africa) was designed to fail before it landed in the country.I would replace the sentence '...the election results show that technology has failed them.' with the sentence'...the election results show that leadership has failed them.'The saving grace is that we have a sober Supreme Court and we thank God for them.Ali HusseinCEO | 3mice interactive media LtdPrincipal | Telemedia Africa Ltd+254 773/713 601113"The future belongs to him who knows how to wait." - Russian ProverbSent from my iPadI thought you guys might enjoy this piece.
