Cherera poured it all out in the 104-page affidavit, putting Chebukati on the spot | Pulselive Kenya.

“The chairperson did not indicate how the errors and concerns raised by the representatives of the Presidential candidates and political parties were dealt with. All along, the Commission had always been aware that only one Form 34A was in be used for recording the presidential results at the polling centres. According to Cherea, commissioners who should have helped with verifying and tallying the results of the presidential elections were re-assigned duties relevant to the tallying and verification process and this left Chebukati alone to work on the results which she maintained that the commission cannot own due to the opaqueness of the process.

Results from 27 constituencies not announced due to Bomas chaos ... (The Standard)

Chebukati admits IEBC didn't relay presidential results from 27 constituencies as required; says Commissioner Guliye who was to announce them had been ...

“Before proceeding to declare the results, I invited the chief agents of each of the presidential candidates to confirm and sign the results as collated into Form 34C. Guliye was unable to announce the remaining 27 constituency results and I was similarly unable to declare the final results. I did not think that this was a bona fide request particularly since the verification had been done with his full participation over the preceding five days and he was only seeking a duplicative process to impede or delay declaration of the results,” he said. Saitabou Kanchory, who was the Chief Agent of the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya candidate asked for a day to verify the results against forms 34A. Our security was overrun and we had to scamper for safety,” the commission’s chair claimed in his response. It was only much later that they were able to restore order,” said Chebukati.
