An IT expert attached to the Jubilee Party has termed as lies NASA's claims that the IEBC system was hacked.
JP Technology Advisor Brian Omwenga said he is baffled why the petitioners in the first place alleged that the respondents systems were hacked.
In a sworn affidavit, the software engineer said the allegations are untrue, adding that NASA is merely playing politics.
“I am mystified and baffled beyond comprehension why the petitioners allege that the respondents’ systems were hacked on August 8 2017,” said Omwenga.
“The computer logs sought by the petitioners would run into tens of thousands, possibly even approximately 100,000 pages,” he said, adding that it was impossible to hack an election whose results were based on a paper ballot together with a paper-based audit trail.
“The petitioners’ allegations are predicated on hearsay information they have received from other individuals who share their confirmation bias. It is clear that the petitioners have filed the Notice of Motion as a fishing expedition,” he added
