As per reports, Crispin Kaheru, a member of the Uganda Human Rights Commission, has praised the increasing role technologies such as biometrics play in the conduct of elections in Africa but says that African nations should go for homegrown solutions and those that best work for them.
Kaheru notes that given the increasing role played by technology in elections in Africa and the high cost incurred by governments in procuring technologies for election administration and management, it is also important for the continent to start thinking of what he terms “homegrown solutions.”
