Jose Camargo, a Venezuelan accused of interfering with the IEBC system gave Kenyans President-Elect, according to Raila’s lawyer Julie Soweto
Azimio legal team said that Jose Carmago, a Venezuelan meddled in the Kenyan presidential elections held in August.
Julie Soweto in her testimony before the seven-judge bench on Friday, September 2 displayed a Form 34A bearing the name Jose Camargo.
According to Julie, Form 34A bearing Camargo’s name was uploaded on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) portal.
The form belonged to the Gacharagu Primary School polling station in Muguru ward in Meru County.
Julie Soweto argued that Jose Camargo name is evidence enough that he was responsible for interfering with the forms and manipulating votes which were being uploaded on the IEBC portal.
She further argued that he reportedly played a key role in determining the President-elect.
“At the top-hand left corner there, we have the name of one the Venezuelans Jose Camargo. This is the person who decided the President-elect of the country,” she stated.
“We didn’t make this up! We were told that we forged these forms, but this is how, My Lord, the staging was happening. This is on August 9 when we were told they (Venezuelans) did not have access to the system,” Soweto lamented.

Salvador Javier Suarez, Jose Castellano, and Joel Garcia, three Venezuelan nationals, were accused of gaining access to the IEBC computers by the Directorate and Criminal Investigation (DCI) in response.
The three were apprehended while attempting to enter the country through the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport with IEBC documents.
“It was established that the confiscated exhibits had substantial information held in the IEBC systems are in full control of foreign employees of M/S Smartmatic International Holdings B.V. and Seamless Limited who have been contracted by IEBC,” the DCI stated in its report.
