[Photo: Daily Nation]Nasa lead lawyer James Orengo ran into trouble on Tuesday evening as it became apparent that he had started reading a different report other than the two reports the court had authorized.The allowed reports were those on the scrutiny of the forms 34B and the IEBC servers as overseen by the Supreme Court registrar.Orengo had been given additional five minutes when he started reading a different report, with IEBC lead lawyer Paul Muite calling him out and Chief Justice David Maraga stepping in."We did not give parties liberty to file their own reports. In that case, take back your report," Chief Justice David Maraga said.Orengo withdrew the additional two reports he was reading from, but described the two reports filed by the registrar as 'two smoking guns'. This was in reference to the demands by the IEBC and President Kenyatta’s lawyers that Nasa produces the smoking gun to support his assertions.He indicated that some of the forms were not standardised, and prepared according to the agreement between the commission and the printer.On the scrutiny of the servers, he said: "From what we have gleaned from what was granted, even the account of the chairman was being used to delete forms. There was unauthorised access by individuals."
