The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on Thursday vehemently defended three Venezuelans that were caught with critical election materials at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
In a statement released to the press, Wafula Chebukati not only demanded the release of the three but also termed their arrest as pure intimidation ahead of the general election.
“The brazen decision of the security authorities to arrest, detain and confine in a solitary hideout the three personnel without justification, is an exhibition of intimidation on hardworking persons who are only keen to deliver a robust technology infrastructure for conduct of a credible, secure and verifiable election,” Chebukati wrote.
“The Commission has a valid legal contract executed between itself and Smartmatic International B.V. for the supply, delivery, installation, testing, commissioning, support and maintenance of the Kenya Integrated Election Management System. The Commission is concerned about this unjustified intimidation, harassment and blackmail whatsoever and demands the immediate release of the three employees of Smartmatic International B.V.” Continued the statement.
However, Kenyans have raised the following major contradictions by IEBC that definitely point to evil plans that may interfere with the credibility of the coming election: They are captured below:
✅The company supplying technology to IEBC for voter identification is SMARTMATIC INTERNATIONAL. These company is only supposed to provide the KIEM’S KITS for identification of voters purposes.
✅ The company that’s printing ballots is a Greek company known as INFORM LYKOS. This is the company supposed to provide any other printed materials pertaining to the ballot papers for IEBC
The question that the three Venezuelans and Chebukati are supposed to answer are:
☑️ What are personnel from a company supposedly supplying technology kits doing with IEBC stickers which are supposed to be supplied by a d different printing firm contracted by the same IEBC?
☑️ Why were the IEBC stickers in his private bags. IEBC stickers are not supposed to be private property. You cannot carry them in your bags like you are carrying your own personal documents. The stickers are supposed to be shipped after going through thorough declaration at the port of transit.
☑️ Venezuela is a third world country known to harbor alot of h@ckers. Why is Chebukati so emotional in his explosive letter on the IEBC page. Is there something that he does not want Kenyans to know? Why does he want the three Venezuelans to be released unconditionally, yet they have committed a crime? Why doesn’t he want transparency in this election?
Other Kenyans also raised the following contradictions that makes IEBC suspicious:
“IEBC and Chebukati should better take their jobs seriously. We are providing no room for mischief this time. Legally, all election materials should be properly journaled and couriered officially. No sane commision will allow an individual to move election materials casually!”
“People cannot enter the Country with election materials without knowledge of Security agencies.Even US election is a Security and democratic matter.”
