Baraka na amani tele nchini msimu huu na siku zijazo!
On a light note; Baby born at the voting queue has been named Ballot-eli
We have made great strides as a Nation during this National Elections. Neighbors went out in droves.
Perhaps our ICT savvy colleagues may enlighten us on why the Technology invested in seems not to be up to the game; a good number of the voter identification
kits were not working or used (I did not run my finger on any), some names were not traced in the computer etc.
It just doesnt work for the citizenry when told that 'mtambo haufanyi kazi", and the manual register is used just as in the past elections. A lot of hype had gone into the need and role of the advanced Technology this time round.
There is a lot of hype on Technology being the turnaround for the Country as an industry and also in other sectors.
I do expect that in subsequent elections, the investment (financial, human, time) in Technology will even be higher and this is a good point to check how to up the game.
Have a pleasant day.

Sustained Global Broadband Demand but Africa Still Lags Behind
On February 27, 2013, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) released figures that show a strong increase in demand for global broadband services. Growth in demand is attributed to falling Internet access prices. But despite all the gains that Africa has experienced, especially through the growth of mobile broadband access, the figures indicate that the digital divide between Africa and the rest of the world continues unabated.

In a previous article, we discussed how ICT can be effectively used in elections in Africa. Our article focused primarily on Zimbabwe where election disputes have been a major issue.

Cable theft and vandalism to telecom property - Africans are shooting themselves in the feet.
You ask most Africans about the shambolic state of their economies, and the response is always quick - it is the government's fault. While governments ultimately bear the responsibility for the performance of their economies, some of the members of the African public have done a lot to destroy their economies.
