The electoral agency on Tuesday allowed presidential candidates, their agents and election observers to access servers and logs used in the October 26 repeat poll.
The access was only granted to parties who requested for information on election.
Access to servers and logs of people who accessed them were critical in the annulment of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s August 8 win.
It was also one of the major reasons— besides change of ballot paper printer and the polls technology provider— that made Nasa leader Raila Odinga withdraw from the fresh poll.
Keen to avoid a second such occurrence, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has on its volition moved to open the servers, a day after declaring President Kenyatta validly elected for a second term.
