Nobody is challenging the numbers. We are being told they did not have security features," Muite said.President Kenyatta’s lawyers, on the other hand, received the reports well and concluded that they fortify their case that their client was validly elected in one of the most-watched elections in recent Kenyan history."This fortifies what we have been saying all along, that this was a fairly credible election," Fred Ngatia, Uhuru's lead lawyer said.From theses arguments and counter-arguments, judges are expected to make their verdict on Friday as affirmed by Chief Justice David Maraga.
