James Oswago, the besieged CEO of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is not taking the recently aired Jicho Pevu exposé of the 2013 General Elections lying down.
The CEO, currently under suspension for a number of malpractices related to abuse of office has come out to strongly deny any knowledge of a conspiracy to doctor the outcome of the March 4th 2013 presidential vote.
“I believe with all my heart that there was no conspiracy at whatever level within the commission to confer or deny advantage to any presidential candidate. If there was such conspiracy, I was not aware and never became part of it,” Mr Oswago asserted in a statement sent to newsrooms on Monday.
His move came just hours after the airing of a recording in KTN’s investigative piece which questioned the legitimacy of the polls over the weekend. In his response, Mr. Oswago added that the recording, which depicted a top IEBC official supposedly questioning the validity of the polls a day before President Kenyatta was declared the winner, was part of a conspiracy to harm him or injure his career.
Mr. Oswago has been on suspension since November last year together with three senior IEBC officials over failure to comply with procurement regulations during the purchase of voter identification kits which failed during the elections. However, Oswago has had more than his fair share of tribulations in form of court cases, accusations and counter-accusations as he sought to clear his name.
The latest Jicho Pevu airing has also generated a lot of heat with drawn daggers from both the Jubilee and CORD political divides as one side tries to prove it won the elections fairly while the other insists it was not fair play—one year down the line.
And Mr. Oswago has consistently remained at the centre of the storm even as he launches largely futile attempts to clear his name.
