ELOG launch investigations on Anti-Corruption Activist John Githongo
ELOG launch investigations on Anti-Corruption Activist John Githongo to establish how he acquired branded jacket to conduct interview with alleged IEBC hacker.
Investigations have been started by Elections Observer Group (ELOG) to determine how anti-corruption activist John Githongo obtained the jacket that bore their logo and that he wore while speaking with the alleged Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) server hacker.
ELOG Chairperson Ann Ireri said their attention was drawn following the video clip shared on social media which documents a confession by the alleged member of a group that hacked the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) data transmission portal, whereby the interviewer, John Githongo was captured donning ELOG’s observer jacket.
Ireri stated that only a specific category of skilled, impartial, and nonpartisan roving observers who are selected from its leadership, thematic members, and partners, as well as top personnel, are given their branded jackets.
“We have therefore launched an investigation to ascertain how the concerned individual acquired the jacket,” she stated.
She further clarified that the said individual is neither a member of ELOG nor an accredited observer.
The said video was released moments after Activist Githongo submitted a damning affidavit at the Supreme Court in support of the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Presidential Candidate Raila Odinga’s Presidential petition alleging that a whistle-blower confided in him on how he was part of a team that manipulated presidential results.
In a well detailed affidavit, the former journalist Githongo said that the whistleblower told him that he was part of 56 people dubbed ‘The Team’ and who had been recruited to allegedly infiltrate the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission’s (IEBC) systems.
Githongo further stated that the Team had 10 supervisors who were guiding and directing the other 46 individuals who were recruited to access and manipulate forms 34As.
He accused some IEBC officials led by Chairperson Wafula Chebukati of working closely with the said supervisors in changing the number of votes in favour of Ruto.
ELOG were part of various observer groups which were monitoring Kenya’s 2022 General Elections and they also conducted their own Presidential Vote Tally.
In a statement released after presidential results were announced, ELOG reported that their PVT estimates are consistent with IEBC’s official results for the 2022 presidential election.
