RAILA'S PRESIDENTIAL EVIDENCE

    It is now emerging Raila had sourced a management consultant from a firm based in Barcelona, Spain, to support his local team of professionals, among them lawyers, engineers, financial analysts and technology experts to argue his election case.
The former PM had compiled a case largely grounded on the failure of technology, variation in number of votes as declared at the constituency and national tallying centre.
Recently Mr Odinga accused Dr Willy Mutunga of presiding over an injustice after the Chief Justice complained about bribery allegations levelled against him on grounds that the Supreme Court had struck out the 800 pages of evidence with a stroke of the pen.
In the ruling rejecting the evidence read by Justice Philip Tunoi, the court stated that accepting the affidavits and by extension the new evidence would prejudice the respondents, Isaack Hassan, the IEBC, Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto.
The court further stated that the applications should have been made prior to the status conference hearing in order to be give due consideration.
In the rejected evidence, the team of experts had planned to argue that about 267,798 more votes were cast for the presidential election than for the gubernatorial election.
The co-hosting of the IEBC server and the TNA server also formed one of its greatest arguments in the piece of evidence.
According to the rejected submission, IEBC allowed Kencall EPZ to co-host both its database and that of the TNA on the same server with an IP address 196.1.26.40, which Odinga through his lawyers argued compromised the integrity of the electoral process.
