NASA Flag bearer Raila Odinga Reveals Where Forms 34A and 34B Were Printed

National Super Alliance (NASA) Flag bearer Raila Odinga has stated that forms 34A and 34B used in the August 2017 election were not printed by Dubai-based Printing Firm Alghurair.

Speaking during a press conference on Tuesday, Odinga claimed that the forms were printed along Mombasa Road.

"We know that the original forms were printed here in Nairobi at a printing firm along Mombasa Road," Odinga stated.

"The original forms were telling a different story. One person was a presiding officer in five polling station," he added

The NASA leader further claimed that the forms lacked the security features that had been included in the contract between the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission and Alghurair.

He stated that when scanned, the bar codes on the forms showed a retail shop or a supermarket somewhere instead of showing the name of a constituency or polling station.

Under the Election Regulations, Form 34A is the first form used to tabulate results of the presidential election.

It contains details of the votes garnered by each candidate and the total number of registered voters in that station, the rejected votes, the objected ones, the disputed and the valid ones.

It is filled by the presiding officer after the counting of votes at the polling station.  The candidate or their agents are then required to sign and ratify that the contents of that form are correct.

Form 34A is then handed over to the constituency returning officer, who then fills Form 34B which is used for the collation of the presidential election results.
