The Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission faces an uphill task in the run up to the elections, after two other cases were filed in court.
The cases target the system for electronic identification of voters and another on the backup system, adding to another case filed by NASA on ballot printing.
The first case, filed by activists Maina Kiai, Tirop Kitur, and Khelef Khalifa, is challenging the procurement process of the Biometric Voter Register (BVR) kits.
The other suit, filed before the High Court by Bado Mapambano Movement, is seeking to block the use of a backup system to the electronic system.
The cases could be an impediment, and would threaten the August 8 polls which are three weeks away.
In addition to the above cases, there are many more cases that touch on the BVR kits, the results transimission process, the law that was passed in parliament on elections and the the paper printing tender case.
According to lawyer Willis Otieno, who has filed a case against the Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), the devices have not been might contain ghost voters in a bid to enable rigging.
“This case aims at securing the due process of the law to secure the integrity of the electoral process and the sanctity of the votes to be cast in the next election and if it is not heard on a priority basis, this matter may be overtaken by events and hence rendered useless," the court papers read.
According to the lawyers, Kebs failed in its duty by not verifying whether the devices are up to standard
“Misapplication of the law in the acquisition of the devices could result in violation of the right to a free and fair election," the petitioners claim.
