A blow to Azimio leader Raila Odinga and his legal team after the Supreme Court refused to mandate the IEBC to open its servers, despite evidence that the commission is deleting data.
This comes after the Supreme Court failed to assist them by refusing to order IEBC to open all eight servers for scrutiny in spite of protests.
Raila’s team, under the direction of Senior Counsel Philip Murgor, objected against IEBC’s denial of full access to their systems, where it is allegedly wiping evidence.
In response to concerns raised by Senior Counsel Philip Murgor, Justice Isaac Lenaola declined to approve the advocate’s request because it was based on the argument that IEBC only allowed access to one server.

Justice Lenaola projected that after receiving a report from a technical team sent by the court to oversee the authorized access to servers, the court would only permit Raila’s legal team and the IEBC to submit their allegations.
“We received a full report from the technical team that was at IEBC and we were informed that the process of compliance was completed last night.
“As far as our team is concerned the process has been finished.”
“Should there be any issues or any concerns that the parties have, let those issues be addressed once we receive those reports this morning?”
“You can address the question of noncompliance, servers you think were not accessed, the question on the information you received from your agents who were present and you the IEBC can respond to the complaints by the petitioner’s counsel.”
“The court will accurately determine what the input of what you are saying is.”
“As far as we are concerned, that matter is spent, please address us tomorrow substantively once we receive the report,” Lenaola stated.
