There was no hacking nor manipulation of the IEBC electronic system used to tally election numbers in Kenya's cancelled presidential poll.
This is according to an audit report by French biometrics firm OT-Morpho which supplied the system.
Speaking to AFP, OT-Morpho's chief operating officer Frederic Beylier said that the audit, which was carried with help from experts in security software companies, showed that the system "in no way suffered manipulation of data, attacks, attempts to penetrate the system or anything of that kind."
Beylier slammed the campaign of threats and intimidation statements against his company and its employees, arguing that it had
conducted its mandate in "complete political neutrality".
"Some people are trying to make us the scapegoat of the political situation in Kenya and we don't intend to play that role," he said.
