IIEC received a donation of 250 Blackberries mobile phones
by aki 21 Jul '10

to help commissioners around the country communicate more effectively. The phones, which were provided with a full service package and donated by the US government, were to ensure that personnel had access to communicating with headquarters from any location in the country and with the build in global positioning system (GPS) be able to map all IIEC registration and polling locations throughout the country. "These phones will vastly improve the ability of the IIEC to conduct its work," said Rene Meza, Zain Kenya CEO during the handing over of the phones. Zain Kenya sourced the Blackberries for the US government donation. In the recent voters' registration around the country IIEC introduced electronic voter registration (EVR) in nine constituencies across the country. The EVR captured more details including the voter picture, thumb print and all critical voter data. Mr Andrew Limo, IIEC's public relations officer said that ideally the use of electronic systems should be incremental and not a big bang implementation that is why it was starting with voter registration as the body explored options of using it in voting ( source is BD ) Question : What system is the blackberry sending its data to and did the commisioners receive training to use the devices? Was the system developed locally or outsorced? Share your thots. Rgds
