Good points for Safcom to consider and respond.

I think as a private and non-biased telecom provider in the upcoming elections, its most probable for Safaricom to build capacity to monitor the digital footpath of the votes both from a security point of view as well as transmission point of view, This will allow for forensic audit and verification later on in case a dispute arises Thank you kindlyLukeO On Feb 10, 2017 08:10, "Walubengo J via kictanet" <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote: Morning Listers, As we go into the general elections,Safaricom is likely to be one of the Technology providers for IEBC.
