IEBC Chairman, Wafula Chebukati
NAIROBI—Electoral commission chairman Wafula Chebukati has said their systems and servers are secure even after the mysterious killing of its ICT Manager Chris Msando.
Addressing members of civil society at Anniversary Towers on Tuesday, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission boss said their system, servers and network are secure and no passwords have been compromised.
“We are working with service providers and no IEBC staff has passwords, they will be delivered at the right time,” he said. He added that those who tortured Mr Msando would “not have obtained that information if that is what they were looking for.”
He also said that the agency will simulate the transmission of results on Wednesday which was to be held Monday but was postponed following the tragic death of the ICT manager.
“Chris was a team player, the team left behind will do the work, we don’t need experts from anywhere else to continue with exercise,” he affirmed. “We are mourning but we are working, we must deliver on August 8,” he concluded.
He said the commission has discussed with Inspector-General of Police Joseph Boinnet the need to provide security for its staff.
Members of civil society, including John Githongo and George Kegoro, called for speedy investigations into the killing and urged Kenyans not to be intimidated but turn out in large numbers to vote on August 8.
