As IEBC seems to be having a few technology hitches would it not have made more sense for them to take up the services of Safaricom's cloud services especially since they are offering the connectivity component? I would think that such a move would be more cost effective than the rushed purchase of more powerful hardware (due to the short time all procurement procedures where therefore suspended) 8 days to the election date and yet that additional power will not be required after the 4th until the next major election in 5 years time when the technology will be obsolete. Vision 2030 and that other thing we launched a few weeks ago keep looking like more and more like pipe dreams. Regards PS.
