This also extends to: Do we have competent and constant learning teams in police departments who can carry out investigations regarding IT, a team/division in the office of #ODPP who can construct prosecutions that can't be easily tossed and finally a team/division in the judiciary that can substantively and effectively determine matters regarding IT? As Bruce Schneier likes to say, Computers are essentially now in everything! The "*Ubiquitous/Everywhere Computing*". It simply cuts across many if not all aspects of people's lives today! In fact there should be an agency/ministry regulating this! Do you have a medical device/implant in your body like an insulin pump or A pacemaker that monitors your heart's electrical impulses or an artificial assistive heart pumping device? Does your tractor use computers to determine & adjust the angle/slope of your soil during sowing/planting? Do you use digital payment systems(m-pesa, credit cards etc) and online banking? What controls the automotive controls in your car like how hard to accelerate or brake(+ ABS which avoids locking of wheels that negates rubber becoming like ice!) etc etc It's possible for many wins to come out of precedent rule makings. One that I hope will come out is making all technologies & processes #IEBC uses be know-able/list-able, open and even make the #IEBC make part of hardware, the KIEMS kits used, available at a juncture & location just like with the *voting villages *at *#Defcon *where all are welcome to tinker, disassemble, prod etc both the hardware + software Regards, Adrian Teri ---------- Forwarded message ----------

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."
