We Are Ready To Open The Servers For Audit- IEBC
Friday, the team of the Independent Electoral And Boundaries Commission (IEBC) headed by CEO Marjan Hussein Marjan agreed to release the servers used in the 2022 general election.
Michael Ouma, the ICT director of the IEBC, stated before the National Dialogue Committee (NDCO) that the servers were available for forensic audit by independent auditors.
“I want to say that the servers are available for forensic audit, yes I confirm, any time, and that they were used to process the replica of the physical forms that are available,” he revealed.
The IEBC Secretariat confirmed this after the National Dialogue Committee team inquired as to why the agency would be compelled to expose the servers.
“I have heard people say open the server, under what circumstances would you open the server, is there a legal framework allowing that to happen or not,” Cecily Mbarire posed.
The commission expressed confidence in the veracity of the figures available on the servers, noting that the figures on the servers are identical to those on the paper forms.

“The role of the server on the other side, I wish to clarify, was nothing more than taking a replica of that physical form and availing it to the portal,” added the ICT director.
“We are confident, even now if an audit is to be done you will now be seeing those forms and the servers used to process them, and confirm if those images of the forms we have the 46,2001of them are the replica as one signed in the polling stations.”
Even as Kenya Kwanza and Azimio continue to dispute the opening of the servers used to conduct the 2022 general elections, this development has occurred.
Azimio la Umoja led by its leader Raila Odinga has on several occasions demanded the unveiling of the servers for review, accusing IEBC of electoral misconduct.
After the publication of the presidential election results and in the aftermath of the bitter dispute between the IEBC Commissioners at the Bomas of Kenya, the server was created.
