Re: [Skunkworks] Technology, transparency, and the Kenyan general election of 2013
Good Article, captures well, the issues. Overall the articles gives the impression that technology was secondary in the election, an assertion that forms the basis for arguments in supreme court. I would probably hold that thought as judgement is still out there. Whereas the role of technology could be argued either way, primary or secondary, it is almost agreeable that it was meant to bring about checks and balances in the whole process,thus its complete failure as was witnessed, brings to question the integrity of the process at least in the absence of the checks. I think besides the court process ,regardless of the ruling. It would be necessary to dissect more what really happened so as to improve.

We need to wait for the full judgement to be released in two weeks. ./sam On Sat, Mar 30, 2013 at 8:34 AM, jaredkoyier@gmail.com < jaredkoyier@gmail.com> wrote:
