What is the real reason behind the 11th hour change of heart to force the manual voting system where 2,000,000 people voted for Uhuru ONLY and forgot about MCAs, Senators, Governors, MPs etc?

Jubilee intends to rig,thats has been their plan from the word go.They know that electronic transmision of results will not give them room for manipulation at the national tallying centre.CORD has to kaa ngumu on this.

Yes.  But hacking is traceable.  Biometric voter id and verification are an absolute minimum requirement for a passable election.  I would include transmission of provisional results.  Remove those and you guarantee a rigged election.  No ifs, no buts.  This is Kenya.

That is why digital system has to fail and IEBC will go back to manualtallying.

I lack the confidence that they can implement anything viable for 2017.  It doesn't feel like they have spent anytime on it.  Too much trust in providence.  That won't stop someone out there making off like a bandit on some contract to "do the system".

Composition of IEBC, voter register, manual or technology, new electoral laws  .... A sensible Opposition would have been working on these from 2013.  Instead, we have have "Oh shit! There are elections around the corner!".

Aug 2016: IEBC lot to leave.  http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Kenya-s-polling-body-officials-to-exit-office/539546-3329012-15bessjz/index.html

Dec 2016: How many commissioners have left?

Expect continuing entertainment until the day before  the elections.   Then the real fun right after that.
