Kenyans as from, Sunday 24th, July and on Monday 25th July, 2022, the trending hashtag #Chebukati, demanding his resignation alongside IEBC CEO Marjan Hussein Marjan for trying to cover up the suspects who are highly believed to be on a mission to manipulate August poll results
In a contradictory statement from Chebukati, had alluded that the three Venezuelans were key in the management of August 9th General Election technological networks
However, according to Director of Criminal Investigation George Kinoti in a twelve page statement which he released on Sunday 24th, July, accused Chebukati for misleading the country that the three foreigners were IEBC officials
Kinoti said the three Venezuelans were on a private business trip and scheduled to meet a businessman Abdulahi Abdi Mohamed, contrary to Chebukati’s earlier statement that they were contracted by IEBC from Smarmatic International B.V
“Dear, @IEBCKenya. Is Uncle Chebukati okay? Kenyans are increasingly getting worried because it’s unlike him to keep quiet for this long after getting himself in hot soup. Please tell him to cough twice if he’s alive, and cough once if Venezuelans are still giving him headache,” Gabriel Oguda put.
“Why didn’t we reform IEBC in time? Bwana this IEBC is beyond incompetent. Chebukati appearing on press conferences appearing out of place, not in control and clueless, you wonder why we even have him at the helm. Now he has gone underground since DCI exposed him! Wah! Lord Abraham Mutai noted
“For ones Wafula Chebukati and Hussein Marjan have been quiet for 24hrs…no response to DCI dossier on electoral malpractice by IEBC itself
Am told there was a crisis meeting over the weekend where the Chair & CEO almost went physical. NA BADO #BabaOut
The Kinoti led sleuths reiterated that contrary to falsehoods and innuendos peddled by Mr Chebukati about the three suspects, were not in anyway personnel or staff working for the commission
Breaking his silence, Abdulahi Abdi Mohamed who had earlier denied over knowing of election materials with Jose Gregorio Carmago Castellanos, now claims his life is in danger
He also claims the information he shared with the DCI was not supposed to be disclosed even after investigation revealing that he was once an employee of IEBC
Mohamed is believed to have worked for IEBC from 2013 until 2018, when he left for private business, majorly supplying IEBC goods and services from within and outside the country, now claims, his name was under care of, Smartmatic International B.V
