John Githongo has denied allegations of falsifying logs in the affidavit he filed in support of Azimio’s presidential petition where he claimed that IEBC servers were hacked.
The former anti-graft czar says he has since learnt that the logs he was given by a young man who claimed to have been part of 56 hackers were merely to demonstrate how IEBC servers can be accessed and manipulated externally by unauthorised parties.
"The same are screen grabs commonly known as screenshots and are not actual logs but screenshots," Githongo claims.
However, Githongo says he has looked at the actual logs annexed to the affidavits by commissioner Justus Nyang'aya and they corroborate the information that was given to him by the young man
The anti-graft czar has issued a clarification stating that the logs he filed earlier were demos, rather than actual logs of alleged breaches on IEBC's servers.https://nation.africa/kenya/news/politics/i-stand-by-affidavit-says-githongo-as-he-walks-back-on-logs-3930044
In a further affidavit filed at the court dated August 28, Mr Githongo denied accusations made in the replying affidavits of President-Elect William Ruto that accused him of presenting falsified logs to the Supreme Court.
John Githongo's retraction and capitulation in his second affidavit is EPIC and UTTER DISGRACE.
