Raila Demands IEBC Servers Be Moved from France to Kenya

Opposition leader Raila Odinga has demanded that Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) servers be moved from France to Kenya.

Speaking during a rally at Mama Ngina grounds in Mombasa County on Sunday, the National Super Alliance (NASA) leader said that it was wrong for important information on Kenyans to be hosted in a foreign country, contrary to regulations by Communications Authority of Kenya.

"We do not want a server, with information about Kenyans, to be located outside the country. The server should be brought to Kenya and not France," Raila said.

The former Prime Minister further said that the Electoral Commission must open the databases to public to make sure that they are empty before another election is held.

The opposition has persistently demanded the French Information Technology firm, OT-Morpho be sidelined from the repeat presidential election, on claims that it was involved in bungling the cancelled August 8th presidential poll.

RAO - Just move the servers to your house in Bondo - then have one polling station in Kenya at the okoa kenya office - then Ida can count all the votes - and the returning officer Winnie can announce the winner - mainugu

Baba,Do you really know whats a server? This guy needs to be educated well about what a server is and its operational. Its so illogical demanding to move the serves here. Rao team was given access to "readonly" to this servers and they could not get anything since they do not know its operational. Listening to his demands am just amazed he is an Engineer

This is why they say little knowledge is dangerous. You tell some people "cloud computing" and they come back to argue computing is done above the clouds in Kenya and that's where Jubilwe is doing the rigging. Physical location of the servers is unimportant.

"open the databases" FYI fake Joshua, there is no term like open the database in computer science. That is total nonsense. If they open the database server you will see wires, metals and plastic. Stop payuka payukaing with void words that means nothing and makes you look stupid

Ok, its wrong for important kenyan information to be held in a foreign land, its equally important for you RAO not to run to these foreign countries to explain yourself. A phone oall would suffice,should that the necessary..
