The statement signed by Safaricom Chief Executive Bob Collymore clarifies that the mobile service provider’s only role in the process was to allow the IEBC to use its “virtual private network (VPN) for the conveyance of the results from polling stations across the country previously identified as having sufficient mobile coverage to the IEBC’s constituency, county and national tallying center infrastructure.”
The statement from Safaricom denies that the network had any role in designing the system that the IEBC used for relaying or presenting election results;
“Safaricom did not and does not have any role in the technical design, management or specification of the servers, the mobile software application nor the graphic presentation of the results data used by the IEBC.”
“As a responsible corporate citizen, Safaricom appreciates and takes seriously its assigned responsibilities and will continue to play its part to support the IEBC in its duties,” concludes the statement.
Safaricom’s clarification comes just a day after IEBC Chairman Issack Hassan admitted that the system for relaying results from tallying centers ‘had not worked at 100%.”
The IEBC is now awaiting the arrival of the various returning offices from across the country to come up with a complete tally of the results
