I'm at a border post called Motukula.
This is the main border crossing between Tanzania and Uganda.
Now, the room I'm currently in is on the Tanzanian side, where there is a temperature scanning machine used to check the temperature's
of passengers entering Tanzania.
The broadcast you can hear in the background is coming from a TV screen mounted on the wall here and it continuously airs public health messages about Ebola.
Now in addition to that there are numerous posters displayed everywhere here on the walls, doors, windows and they are all carrying similar Ebola awareness messages.
We have learned many things, especially through practical exercises.
Dr. Damas Kayera is Kigoma Regional Medical Officer.
We have trained our health workers.
They are ready.
We have provided them with equipment and equipment.
infection prevention equipment so that they can prevent infection to them and to their society.
So we are ready.
But Kigoma's vast lake border means that people can still enter Tanzania through unofficial crossing points without the knowledge of authorities.
If Ebola were to reach the country, those informal routes could provide the biggest test of Tanzania's preparedness to detect and contain the virus.
When we are expecting mass attacks, I take shower, use all my most expensive skincare products, use perfumes and wear pyjamas because, you know, I want to look the best.
The technical issues have delayed voting from starting.
The polls were supposed to open, or at least the voting should have started at 7 a.m.
But until 10, when we left several polling stations that we visited, voting had not started yet.
So I asked election officials at the centres what was the problem, and they told me they were failing or they couldn't configure the gadgets to connect the stations with the central system or the central portal.
