Presidential candidate Raila Odinga has told the court that the technology used by IEBC in the August 9, elections were corrupted, manipulated, and tainted.
Senior Counsel Philip Murgor told the seven judges of the Supreme Court that the server was accessed by individuals who are not authorized.
Murgor, who is representing Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition party flag bearer Raila Odinga further told the court that a group of about 50 people was given access to the IEBC system.
Among those who were illegally given access to the servers include IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati’s personal assistant Dickson Kwanusu.
“It came out that somewhere, somehow, in the Karen suburb; there was a group of about 50 people who had access to the ICT systems of IEBC. There was illegal and malicious access to the IEBC system by certain individuals, one of whom was Chebukati’s personal assistant,” Murgor said.
According to Murgor, Chebukati’s personal assistant was tasked with intercepting the August 9, presidential election results before they are uploaded to the public portal.
“These people were intercepting results before being uploaded to the public portal,” Murgor told the Supreme Court.
While calling for the nullification of William Ruto as the fifth president-elect, Murgor said that the results announced by Wafula Chebukati lacked confidentiality, integrity, and security.
The matter of the three Venezuelans also came up, with Murgor telling the court they were involved in the malpractice as they were granted powers to change, delete, and modify presidential results in favor of their candidate William Ruto.
“Several foreigners were involved, and several were involved as super administrators having powers to change, delete, and modify, amongst other access privileges. The election was controlled from everywhere except the IEBC,” he added.
