Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Presidential aspirant Raila Odinga’s chief agent, Saitabao Ole Kanchuri, has made claims that the systems used by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to tally the results of the presidential contest were compromised ahead of the official announcement.
While speaking on Monday. August 15, at the Bomas of Kenya, Kanchuri cited intelligence reports as the reason that informed their claims.
He further stated that some IEBC officials actively connived with the perpetrators of the alleged cyber attack to compromise the presidential polls.

“We have intelligence reports that the IEBC system was penetrated and hacked and that some of the IEBC officials had committed electoral offences and some of them ought to have been arrested if they were not arrested” stated Kanchuri.
“I think you will remember that I had earlier stated that the Bomas of Kenya was a crime scene way before the results were announced.” He added.
Furthermore, Kanchuri urged IEBC to release the official results of the presidential contest after verifying all tallied votes collected from polling centers across the country.
“The people of Kenya deserve nothing else. A result that is not verifiable is not a result and therefore that does not stand and the chairman (Wafula Chebukati) had assured Kenyans that the polls will be done transparently which it has not.” Kanchuri said.
Similarly he revealed that Raila will only arrive at the Bomas of Kenya once the electoral commission verifies the presidential election results.
