Hali ya sintofahamu imezuka kuhusu iwapo Tume ya Uhuru ya Uchaguzi na Mipaka (IEBC) imewezesha upatikanaji wa seva nane kama ilivyoagizwa na Mahakama ya Juu mnamo Jumanne, Agosti 30.

Katika siku ya pili ya kusikilizwa kwa kesi ya kesi ya uchaguzi wa urais, Wakili Philip Murgor, anayemwakilisha Raila Odinga na Martha Karua aliambia mahakama kuwa IEBC bado haijawapa ufikiaji kamili wa seva hizo.

"Ningependa kuripoti kwamba kuanzia leo asubuhi hakuna kilichobadilika, IEBC inaendelea kukataa kutoa picha ya uchunguzi wa seva zote 8. Kati ya seva hizo 8, IEBC inatoa ufikiaji mdogo tu kwa seva nambari 5,” Wakili Mkuu alisema.

Hata hivyo, Jaji Isaac Lenaola alisema kuwa mahakama ilipokea ripoti tofauti, akisema kuwa IEBC ilitii agizo la mahakama.

“Tulipokea ripoti kamili kutoka kwa timu yetu ya kiufundi iliyokuwa ikiongoza zoezi hilo katika IEBC na tumefahamishwa kuwa shughuli ya kuafiki sheria hiyo ilikamilishwa jana usiku. Kwa jinsi timu yetu inavyohusika, mchakato katika IEBC umekamilika,” akasema.

Lenaola aliongeza kuwa maswali ambayo hayajashughulikiwa kuhusu agizo lililotolewa na Mahakama ya Juu yatashughulikiwa huku kukiwa na mchakato wa kusikilizwa siku ya Alhamisi.

"Unaweza kushughulikia suala la kutofuata sheria, ni seva gani ambazo unadhani hazikufikiwa, habari uliyopokea, mawakala wako walikuwepo," alisema.

Jumatano, mzozo sawia ulishuhudiwa katika makao makuu ya IEBC wakati maafisa wa tume hiyo walipokataa kutoa ufikiaji wa seva zake kulingana na agizo la Mahakama ya Juu.

Wakili James Orengo, ambaye pia anawawakilisha Raila na Karua aliambia mahakama kuwa wameruhusiwa kufikia seva moja pekee.

"Tumepewa ufikiaji uliozuiliwa kwa mfumo wa usambazaji wa matokeo, na bado haujapewa, kwa seva moja tu. .imebainika kuwa IEBC ina seva nane,” Orengo alisema.

Katika ripoti inayokinzana ya Jumatano jioni, IEBC ilisema imeruhusu wahusika kufikia seva.

"Kufuatia agizo la Mahakama ya Juu, IEBC imeruhusu wahusika kufikia seva na zoezi la ukaguzi linaendelea," ilisoma taarifa kutoka kwa tume hiyo.
==================================
Uncertainty has ensued on whether the Independence Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has facilitated the access of eight servers as ordered by the Supreme Court on Tuesday, August 30.

On the second day of the presidential election petition hearing, Lawyer Philip Murgor, who is representing Raila Odinga and Martha Karua told the court that IEBC is yet to give them full access to the servers.

“I wish to report that as of this morning nothing has changed, IEBC continue to refuse to provide the forensic image of all the 8 servers. Of those 8 servers, IEBC are providing only limited access to server number 5,” the Senior Counsel said.

However, Justice Isaac Lenaola said that the court had received a contrary report, saying that IEBC had complied with the court order.

“We received a full report from our technical team that was leading the exercise at IEBC and have been informed that the process of compliance was completed last night. As far as our team is concerned, the process at IEBC is finished,” he said.

Lenaola added that the unattended questions surrounding the order issued by the Supreme Court will be handled amid the hearing process on Thursday.

“You can address the question of non-compliance, what servers you think were not accessed, the information that you received, your agents were there,” he said.

On Wednesday, a similar standoff was witnessed at IEBC headquarters when the commission’s officials refused to give access to its servers as per the Supreme Court directive.

Lawyer James Orengo, who is also representing Raila and Karua told the court that they had been allowed to access only one server.

“We have been given restricted access only to the result transmission system, and it has not been granted yet, to only one server. It is established that the IEBC has eight servers,” Orengo said.

In a contradictory report on Wednesday evening, IEBC said it has granted the parties access of the servers.

“Following the Supreme Court order, IEBC has granted access to the parties to access the servers and the scrutiny exercise is ongoing,” read a statement from the commission.
