{UAH} WBK, not good at all! Details of what NASA found after being granted access to IEBC servers ▷ Tuko.co.ke

- IEBC finally granted some access to Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka's lawyers to audit their servers

- The opposition brigade claims to have come across a number of discrepancies that affected 5 million votes in the Tuesday, August 8, General Election

- One of the major discrepancies was that IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati's account was used to delete a number of documents on the server when no such permission is granted to a user

The Supreme Court, on Monday, August 28, granted the National Super Alliance read-only access to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission's servers as hearings into Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka's presidential election petition continue.

After an initial push and pull, with NASA complaining the IEBC is stone walling them, on Tuesday August 29, NASA gained access to the servers and claimed to have come across a number of illegal activities in the server logs.

According to documents seen by TUKO.co.ke on Wednesday, August 30, one of the major puzzles they came across was the alleged discrepancy in 90 Form 34 Bs that affected nearly five million votes.

According to Siaya Senator James Orengo, who is Raila's lead counsel, these are the discoveries they made upon their audit of the logs:

1. There were 3,395 failed log in attempts while the access control list only provides for 341 users. In the same instance, 3,851 successful log in attempts were made.

2. The KIEMS system gives read only authorisations and no deletion of files is granted but IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati's account was used multiple times to transfer, delete and modify files.

Their further audit revealed that Chebukati's account had 9,934 transacton logs and was accessed using an unauthorized IP address.

Some of the transactions the opposition brigade allege was carried out on Chebukati's account include the deletion of Form 34 Bs for Jomvu and Bureti constituencies; and the transfer of the folder for Kisumu Central constituency.

3. Forms 34 A and Bs were uploaded to the servers from the constituency level instead of from the polling stations during and after the election. Apparently, there is no trace of data from polling stations, raising doubt if the data keyed in to the servers is actually from the stations.

4. The opposition brigade found that there are no Form 34 Bs for a number of constituencies while in some, the forms were uploaded more than once.

5. Between August 6 and 17, 277 users accessed the server yet data was supposed to be uploaded from each polling station. In other instances, one user accessed the server multiple times using several IP addresses.

6. While the server only grants read only access, some constituency election coordinators managed to modify Forms 34B while on the server. The constituencies affected include Changamwe, Jomvu, Sotik and Kibwezi East.

7. NASA's audit claims that there were a number of illegal activities carried out by some accounts. They include 8,300 delete commands and 7,954 successful delete commands between August 8 and 17 at 1.19 PM.

8. Further audit revealed that there were no security features on the Forms 34 B. No watermark or serialization. They found 31 forms with no serial numbers and 32 without any signatures from agents.

9. Access was granted to strangers who were not identified by role and who were not defined in any access lists
