Raila Claims Venezuelan Nationals are in Kenya to Tamper with IEBC Servers

Raila Claims Venezuelan Nationals are in Kenya to Tamper with IEBC Servers

Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition leader Raila Odinga claims that Venezuelan national Jose Carmago jetted into the country to interfere with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) servers.

Odinga alleged that Carmago, whose name featured prominently during the 2022 presidential election petition at the Supreme Court, is accompanied by three other Venezuelans.

Through Twitter on Monday, the ODM party leader claimed the four foreigners met with former IEBC Chairperson Wafula Chebukati and Communications Authority of Kenya Director General Ezra Chiloba.

“We have information that four Venezuelans led by Jose Carmago are in the country to tamper with @IEBCKenya servers. We have information that they have met with CA CEO Ezra Chiloba & the former IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati… they are now at Maasai Mara Lodge,” he tweeted.

In his 2022 presidential petition, Odinga claimed Carmago led a team of Venezuelan nationals who tampered with the election’s results in favor of President Ruto.

Lawyer James Orengo said Camargo and his compatriots Joel Gustavo Rodriguez Garcia and Salvador Javier Sosa Suarez, who had been arrested at JKIA carrying election materials in their luggage, used them to rig in President Ruto.

But IEBC refuted the allegations, saying the three were employees of Smartmatic International B.V., a company contracted to deploy technology during the election.

Odinga has been pushing for the opening of the IEBC servers, insisting that he won the elections with 8.9 million votes.

    RAO does not even remember that the Venezuelan were arrested by his friend Kinoti. Not only do we have the Venezuelans, we also have the 4 IEBC clerks who were caught with poll material and detained at Central police. The we have the 4 IEBC commissioners, who refused to respond to complaints about their actions from parliament and Kenyan citizens. These are Azimio heroes. And now Raila is fighting poverty in the streets of Nairobi, damaging roads, looting small businesses, and interfering with daily operation of hawkers.

    Murderer Raila might have been cornered in his dirty tricks.There are more advanced conmen outside his BONDO HUMAN BUTTERFLY residence.He himself confessed to have hacked the said election servers some two months ago.

    Kenya must move on with or without this dynasty. You will not be a dictator to Kenyans. Stick to Nyanza Mr despot

    So much hot air! Because he knows that his "server" claims are nothing but rubbish, he now prepared a convenient explanation just in case the servers get opened and reveal nothing. Dear Lord, we are so tired of this conman, would you please, I pray,remove him from amongst us? And cast him away for eternity? Amen.
