Lawyer Philip Murgor says Wafula Chebukati’s PA accessed the IEBC transmission system 1,743 times
Lawyer Philip Murgor in his submission at the Supreme Court says Wafula Chebukati’s PA accessed the IEBC transmission system 1,743 times.
Philip Murgor appearing for Azimio leader Raila Odinga before the Supreme Court said the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) technology was not secure, confidential, and authentic.
In his submission, Murgor said President-Elect William Ruto’s victory was technologically decided before tallying and verification of forms 34As at the Bomas of Kenya.
“My hypothesis from where I stand is, clearly a result for the 1st respondent was being arrived at way before the tally was in. Each time, work was being done to try and fit A and B into that result and through the confusion at the very end, the result is forced on Kenyans through a defective form 34C,” he said.
“As of 12th August 2022 at 1548hrs, form 34C had already been generated TWO days before the final announcement.”
Murgor pointed out that there is evidence of downloading and uploading of Forms 34As at the IEBC portal by known and unknown individuals.
“Several of them were super administrators. Super administrator is the power to even create and join servers to the system, join, delete and alter documents. Super administrator, in this case, is J.C.A Margo who occasionally uses different names was able to do all that,” said Murgor.
“I honorably suggest that it shows that this election was controlled from everywhere except IEBC.”
Murgor further claimed that IEBC personnel, who were not gazetted for the purposes of restricted and accountable access to the system, were granted access to the system.
“In particular, the personal assistant of IEBC chairperson Wafula Chebukati, Dickson Kwanusu, is granted access. While we may not see the fingerprints of Chebukati in the ICT system, we see his palm, his much larger presence through the actions of his key aide. Indeed, when you study the system, you’ll find that Dickson Kwanusu performed a purported verification process of [forms] 34A 1,743 times,” said Murgor.
Murgor said the IEBC technology was so inherently corrupted, manipulated, and tainted that the results declared by Mr. Chebukati cannot be, in an objective case, said to be representative of the true will of the Kenyan people.
