According to the appeal submitted jointly by Karua and the Muslim for Human Rights, the Supreme Court’s handling of the election petition infringed both their rights and those of other citizens. They claim that the Supreme Court ignored all the evidence that was provided before it, failed to adequately scrutinize the technology employed and approved of IEBC’s cover-up by withholding access to its technology, which was essential to reaching a just conclusion
Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua has petitioned the East African Court of Justice denouncing the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the Supreme Court for having failed to fulfil their constitutional mandate.
In the appeal, Karua corroborated her earlier allegation that unauthorized individuals gained access to the electoral agency’s election systems and manipulated the results. According to her, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) granted external service providers access to its systems, allowing unauthorized users to access the system and delete, edit, and upload data on voter registration and election results.
The Narc Kenya leader is also accusing the Supreme Court of ultimately giving an inconsistent ruling. She now wants the regional court to rule that the Kenyan Apex Court’s decision on the presidential petition was not made in compliance with the country’s laws and the requirements of the constitution.
According to the appeal submitted jointly by Karua and the Muslim for Human Rights, the Supreme Court’s handling of the election petition infringed both their rights and those of other citizens. They claim that the Supreme Court ignored all the evidence that was provided before it, failed to adequately scrutinize the technology employed and approved of IEBC’s cover-up by withholding access to its technology, which was essential to reaching a just conclusion. Karua wants the regional court to order an investigation into claims of electoral fraud and malpractice in the 2022 presidential election from the relevant Kenyan government entities.
“The applicants plead for an order directing the relevant organs of the Kenyan State to conduct prompt, efficient, impartial and professional investigations into all violations enumerated,” reads the petition.
The two petitioners want the regional court to rule that the August 15, 2022, presidential election and its results were not conducted in line with the electoral laws thus allegedly tainting the results.
