Questions on why IEBC had IT firm co-host server with TNASHARE THIS STORY Updated 9 hrs 43 mins ago By Oscar Obonyo KENYA: Prime Minister Raila Odinga has questioned why the electoral body had an IT firm co-host its server and that of The National Alliance (TNA) – a political party of one of the candidates. Raila argued the conduct "of course may compromise the integrity of the electoral process." In a sworn affidavit, Raila points out at what he terms "a curious and very concerning feature of IEBC's conduct", of allowing Kencall to co-host both its server and that of the Uhuru Kenyatta-led TNA. This, he argues, may "compromise the integrity of the electoral process but at the very least gives the very real impression that the TNA has access to all sorts of information which is at the very least initially confidential to the First Respondent ( IEBC)." The CORD presidential candidate further believes the IEBC, as well as its Chairman Issack Hassan, failed to establish systems, which are accurate, secure, verifiable, accountable and/or transparent. This, he argues, is a breach of the Constitution. Raila says IEBC declared results, "which in many instances had no relation to votes cast at the polling station and developed methods, which were opaque and intended to manipulate the results in the course of which the petitioners' representatives were altogether excluded from the process."?? The petitioner also observes that in the final tally, the total number of votes cast in the Presidential Elections differed materially from those declared by the IEBC and its boss in the Gubernatorial and Parliamentary elections, which took place on the same date "clearly attesting to my belief that massive electoral fraud and malpractice occurred or were permitted to occur by IEBC in contravention of the requirements of the Constitution". "Its failure and collapse, on a catastrophic scale on the polling day, so fundamentally changed the system of polling and the number of votes cast, owing to inordinate and inexplicable delays at the polling stations thereby reverting Kenya to the discredited manual system, with all the attendant risks and opportunities for abuse and manipulation which in fact took place," charges Raila, in his affidavit. Raila argues the numerous instances of huge discrepancies in the total numbers of votes declared by IEBC and Mr Hassan in the presidential election held on March 4, 2013 "is inexplicable upon any reasonable hypothesis other than the existence of actual ballot stuffing, multiple voting or gerrymandering or inflating of the numbers of votes in the tallying". --- On Sat, 3/16/13, Evans MACHERA <evansmachera@yahoo.com> wrote:
