The man is said to have generated a code that was used to
infiltrate the IEBC severs, which the commission denied Raila access
The Raila Odinga led team has finally ‘exposed a man who
interfered with the ICT system of the IEBC in the august 8th polls’.
The Egyptian Engineer identified as Bavly Farag, is said
to be working for a French firm Safran which Mr Odinga claimed was used to
massively interfere with the elections transmission system.
Through a NASA Communication telegram channel, Nasa team
has provided a photo of the alleged culprit, claiming that he generated the
computer code with an algorithm that was used to manipulate the results.
“His name is Bavly Farag […] he is responsible for
developing the code with an algorithm to manipulate the results. He was here in
Kenya before elections,” reads the message in a channel with over 30,000
members.
Mr Odinga's revelations come in the wake of pilling
pressure on IEBC to axe some of its commissioners and make massive changes at
the secretariat of IEBC before holding any other elections. The IEBC, however,
has maintained that the Ezra Chiloba led secretariat will be manning the repeat
exercise.
"We've drawn timelines for the fresh presidential
poll. We are now looking into emerging issues, enhancing training & clarity
on the process," IEBC wrote in a tweet, avoiding the mention of the
composition of the secretariat.

Since the ruling of the Supreme Court which annulled the
reelection of President Uhuru Kenyatta, Mr Odinga has been championing for the
removal of Mr Ezra Chiloba, the CEO of the IEBC for what he termed as
subverting the "will of the people by engaging in irregularities and
illegalities."
On his part, however, Mr Chiloba earlier maintained that
the commission is the only body mandated to run the repeat elections.
Mr Chiloba is leading the team in the repeat elections
after a raft of changes at the body by the chairman Mr Wafula Chebukati.
