Opposition leader Raila Odinga has claimed that IEBC database has been doctored by former employees of the commission to ensure Jubilee strongholds register more voters.
He alleged that this is part of a scheme to create room for ballot stuffing during elections.
“We have unearthed serious anomalies in the on-going voter registration that bring to questions the integrity of the register being compiled and the figures being released by the IEBC,” said Raila
According to Raila investigations show that numbers that do not qualify as identity card numbers have been used to register voters in parts of the country and that is responsible for what is being presented as high turnout in voter registration in those regions.
Raila said the manipulation was done to ensure that single digit numbers like (0 00 1 2 11 12 231 111 20 21, 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 40) can be used to register foreigners or even those without IDs.
“But it is also possible that the names popping up under the fake ID numbers may be non-existent. These could be virtual voters, non-existent human beings being included in the IEBC register to create room for ballot stuffing during elections,” he said as quoted by Standard.
The opposition also claims that the doctoring exercise is currently being carried out in homes of a senior government official and the office of a former cabinet secretary.
