Voting by technology may be stifling Kenya's democracy

Election hacking has been a hot topic ever since the US Democratic National Committee (DNC) had its servers allegedly accessed and information leaked during the 2016 presidential elections. Political bloggers worldwide wrote hundreds of articles accusing George Soros (Hungarian billionaire), who was backing Hillary Clinton, of planning Smartmatic equipment to rig the polls in various states.

In fact, there was even a petition to the Congress to have an emergency session to discuss the voting machines. President Donald Trump later admitted it was likely that Russia was behind the attack as earlier stated by the previous administration and US security agencies.
