He says the NSAC visit was to ensure that the results announced were verified and transparent to avert public anxiety.

He adds that Chebukati reported the matter to the police and made a statement, but did not mention to the police that he had been visited by NSAC and in his national addresses he never mentioned the visit. He says that the claim by IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati that he was warned by Kennedy Kihara if the commission was to announce William Ruto of UDA as the winner then there would be violence and that the blood of the dead Kenyans would be on him, was a lie. Making his submissions on Thursday, Oraro said that the visit by members of the National Security Advisory Council (NSAC) to the IEBC was not to intimidate the commissioners but to urge them to expedite the tallying and verification of results, saying that the country was in high tension.
