The 2017 presidential elections have been marred with allegations of foreign influence. Former Jubilee Party Vice Chairman David Murathe yesterday, Sunday, alleged that President Uhuru Kenyatta's close rival Raila Odinga, under NASA, sought services of a USA-based political technology company, Aristotle.
"I was not privy to all the groups who were doing all this. Nasa had Aristotle. When you do a campaign you do scenarios. I am surprised to hear that Cambridge Analytica did Jubilee briefs," he said as tweeted by K24.
Aristotle states that it is a leading pioneer in political technology. The entity serves politicians and private organization in the US and abroad.
Aristotle also prides in providing top-notch customer service as it offers consultation, outsourcing and political data.
They claim to be experts on how a message should be provided to the electorate and building trust. Additionally, fundraising schemes are crafted at this company.
The same allegations were levelled against President Uhuru's Jubilee Party. There were claims that a formerly British-based firm, Cambridge Analytica Ltd was at the centre of Jubilee's campaigns. Murathe denies knowing such an arrangement.
"There is no proof that the President was aware of the Cambridge Analytica firm. And these social media things don't work in Kenya," he said during an interview K24's Punchline.
