IEBC has revived the election servers’ controversy citing that Raila’s NASA lied to Kenyans when they claimed that they were denied access to the servers.
While releasing their Internal Post-evaluation report, the IEBC states that NASA accessed the servers 34 times before the hotly contested August, 8, 2017 results were released.
IEBC has confirmed that Raila’s team through John Walubengo made 54 attempts and were unsuccessful in 20 attempts.
The commission has stated categorically that Jubilee also took part in accessing the server through former Energy CS Davis Chirchir, who made 10 successful logins after 24 attempts.
In NASA’s presentation before the Supreme Court, through their lead counsel, James Orengo, Raila’s team claimed that Chirchir had hacked the servers and helped the ruling party rig the election.
This was after IEBC refused to open the servers as it was ordered by the judges.
However, there are many other parties that accessed the servers.
The commission has since clarified that they gave the listed individuals credential to closely observe how their candidates were faring during the election.
This was to enable them view the results as they were streaming live from different polling stations across the country.
The commission further states that the report has been released to counter lies that were spread about the fiercely contested August, 8, 2017 general election that ended up being nullified by the Supreme Court.
NASA in their argument before the Supreme Court cited that the IEBC chairman’s account had 9,934 transaction logs. Some logins were unknown IP address were used to transfer, alter and delete some files.
But, the IEBC chair, Wafula Chebukati declared Uhuru winner with 8, 203, 290 votes against Raila’s 6,762,224, a result that was nullified by the Supreme Court.
