NAIROBI, KENYA: NASA leader Raila Odinga on Thursday said criminals started posting results into the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission servers (IEBC) servers a day before the election date (August 8).

He said that NASA technology experts were able to discover the malpractice from the logs given to them by the electoral body.

“Criminals started posting results in the IEBC servers as early as August 7, this our experts found out from the logs given by IEBC to them when the body refused to open the servers,” claims Odinga.

“This is what we have been saying that nearly 10,000 form 34As were altered in the server using password of IEBC chairman, Wafula Chebukati,” he added.

At a press conference where he was accompanied by Musalia Mudavadi, Raila  said that some of the people who accessed the server before the polling day included key Jubilee party agents.

Supreme Court on September 1 declared the results of last month's presidential poll "invalid, null and void" and ordered the election be re-run within 60 days.

IEBC has already set October 17 for the repeat of the presidential poll.
