@Washington, you misunderstood us here!A brilliant idea was given and we are looking at all the factors that would prevent it from becoming a reality.We don't support ideas by burying our head in the sand .Happy furahiday! On 10 Feb 2012 18:02, "Odhiambo Washington" <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:
And @Gichingiri's idea becomes "still born"!
Kenyan's yawa. Instead of trying to nurture/develop an idea you just shoot it down?.
You are all like Celtel (or what was it called then?) who (so I hear) were given the M-Pesa idea and they said it CANNOT work.
BTW, is it really true ama hizo 'zinakuwaga' rumours?? :-)
I suggest all members of this forum buy the best flowers & chocolates for their mates. Shoot that down too.<LOL>
Heppy Furahiday!!

Gentlemen,
Putting the technical aspects aside, alot of factors come into play.
1. Does the law allow us to vote through any other means, except through the ballot ?
2. The government may need to budget, plan , etc for this sort of voting. Voter education , public awareness.
3. Going by the political events in the Kenyan arena, I would propose you bring up the issue in the next election.
Brilliant idea but I see alot of obstacles along the way...
Kind regards,
Kevin

Good.But you cannot "imagine" in a vacuum,you have to consider all the technologies we have.Unless you want to "imagine",write good papers about it and leave it at that without implementing it!Most Kenyans have feature phones,the only way to implement the system and ensure everyone can use it is by using USSD and other like technologies.

Ok, remove the USSD aspect. Imagine a system that is very simple to use, yet secure and works right. "Imagine" is just the first step...

The idea looks brilliant on paper but if you look at the technical details you will discover it's not!USSD is not secure enough for this kind of work.

Hi,
@ Gichingiri Kuria, it can work well but consider a scenario where a Politician gathers a crowd of people and dishes out cash after confirming that you voted for him through your mobile phone!!! That will ruin the whole exercise....
