Raila Odinga Blames 6 IEBC Officials for Electoral Malpractices in August Elections

National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga has vowed to take to court six Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) officials.

Addressing the press after nullification of President Uhuru Kenyatta's re-election, he accused the Commission of overseeing electoral theft that caused irregularities in the concluded polls.

He claimed that the IEBC had conducted shambolic polls adding that the officers should face criminal prosecution.

Odinga named a list of six officers who he claimed were responsible for the malpractices that the Supreme Court affirmed affected the presidential poll.

The NASA leader faulted IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba, director Immaculate Kasait and the Commissioner in charge of the Commission's ICT Abdi Yakub.

He also named Betty Nyabuto who is the head of operations, John Muhati of IT and Praxedes Tororey who leads the legal department noting that they ought to be prosecuted.

Mr Odinga accused the officers of colluding with individuals who accessed the IEBC system and manipulated the results of the August polls.

He declared that he would not participate in the repeat election unless changes are made in the electoral body including replacing the Commissioners.

The former Prime Minister urged the six officers to resign for what he termed perpetuating monumental crimes against the people.

He further claimed that the real results of the nullified election were not shared with Kenyans despite the many years of preparation and the billions spent on the polls.
