The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has defied the Supreme Court's ruling to grant the petitioner full access to its servers, Raila Odinga’s legal team has claimed. 

This is according to the petitioners' Lead Counsel James Orengo who disclosed the commission has only given them access to one server and yet there were 7 more according to their understanding.


Orengo revealed that on Wednesday while making his submission to the Supreme Court.

“We have been given restricted access only to the result transmission system, and it has not been granted yet, to only one server. It is established that the IEBC has eight servers,” Orengo said.

Orengo also said they had written to the Judiciary Registrar over the matter seeking the court's intervention.

"We have written to the registration so that the court can resolve this," he said

Justice Isaac Lenaola, while responding to the senior counsel, noted the court was aware of what was happening and said they were following up on the matter.

“We are aware and we are following it up. As far as we know when we got out of here, the exercise had commenced, there was an agreement on how to access the server that had been given,” Lenaola said.

“The issue of cloning is being addressed and we will report on the issue again tomorrow morning.”


The petitioner; the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition leader and his running mate Martha Karua in their petition challenging President-elect William Ruto's win in the recent election asked the court to them supervised access to the IEBC servers.

"That IEBC be compelled to give the applicants supervised access to any server(s) at the National Tallying Centre for storing and transmitting voting information and which are forensically imaged to capture a copy of the Form 34C which is the total votes cast," read court documents.

The Supreme Court directed the commission to provide copies of its technology system security policy, which included their password policy, password matrix, and system administration password owners.
