Opposition leader Raila Odinga now claims the Jubilee government executed plan to steal three Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits at a Mandera AP camp, to rig elections.
He said claims that Al-Shabaab attacked the camp during a night raid were false, but was a plan by the president Uhuru Kenyatta-led administration to steal the kits and register foreigners, to rig in the August polls.
"They took the BVR kits and claimed Al-Shabaab raided a police camp and stole the kits. What will Al-Shabaab be doing with IEBC BVR kits? Do they know how to use them? Let them not think we are stupid,'' Raila said while in Garissa, Thursday.
However IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati said no information was contained in the BVR kits as the data had already been removed.
"The kits cannot be used as they were encrypted and that there should be no cause for alarm,'' said Chebukati, as he addressed the 7th National Assembly Leadership Retreat at the Mombasa Serena Beach Hotel.
