• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Regulation 21 of the Draft Elections (Technology) Regulations, 2017 be amended by inserting the following sub-regulation immediately after sub-regulation (3) — “(4) Where the Commission engages a consortium in the manner specified in sub- regulation (3), the Commission shall require the service provider to use internal roaming services.” The import of this change is just to fortify Regulation 21(1) which says that the commission shall identify and communicate in a timely manner to stakeholders the network services available at different polling stations. You will note that the network services at The ... view
• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: different polling stations or around the country are not the same. Various network operators have differing strength of signal. For instance, here at Parliament, you will find that Orange is strong and Safaricom is weak. So as not to penalise any access to services, by inserting “internal roaming services”, we are saying that your device will be accessible to any network which is available from where you are because it already exists in an interconnect arrangement within the Communication Authority of Kenya (CAK) laws. view

• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Sub-regulation (1) says that “the telecommunication network service providers shall ensure secure traceability and availability of the network. The commission, in collaboration with a service provider or providers, shall place the appropriate telecommunication network infrastructure to facilitate the election technology for voter validation and results transmission and shall publish the network coverage 45 days before the date of the general elections. Introducing this sub-regulation will ensure that the quality of service parameter test is carried out. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: The import of this is that we will get an independent person. It is like we are saying that we can audit the list of voters prior to the validation of the election register. We will validate from an independent player, which will be through the commission, the state of the network service all over the country. Once that has been caused, then you will know the reliability of the networks in different areas and the strengths of the signals, so that the transmission is done seamlessly and that there is time for the telecommunication providers to remedy any shortfalls ... view
