Why did the Iebc bother to beam the result as they came in? Especially if it had no bearing on the real final tally? Hu ni utoto sana. The iebc thought that their dodgy live results would be accepted as final and are only engaging in damage control after getting caught faking the result. They're making it up as they go along. Iebc=jubilee=SCoK. With the sole motive of defeating the voice of Kenya expressed through the ballot.

Think about it. Results declaration is at Constituency and final. This means National tallying center had no job to do other than wait for Constituency tallying centers to send in their 34B and make a declaration.
But tallying at Constituency is tedious and time consuming. So the legislators agreed IEBC should release results from the polling stations even as they await the forms 34B Reduces anxiety.
Results from the polling stations were to be sent in keyed in forms and scans. Keyed in probably saved time it takes to beam these on the portal. That's the ONLY reason I can guess for keying in what's already contained in 34As.
But this carries a risk of data entry errors. IEBC anticipates this and arrives at a consensus; scans of 34A are final arbiter should there be any discrepancy. Makes tons of sense to me instead of
1. Rejecting results where there is discrepancy
2. Randomly picking either of the two results as final
In any case 34 is final in law and not any extract from it.
There were variances of course, and the fact that the final results were derived from 34A and not keyed in results essentially makes the portal/keyed-in results provisional.
But the variances were negligible
