Activist John Githongo Makes a U-turn on the Affidavit
Activist John Githongo has now made a reverse course on the affidavit that was submitted to the Supreme Court where his affidavit sought to overturn Deputy President William Ruto’s victory following his declaration as President-Elect in the just concluded August 9 polls.
Githongo has since admitted that the logs he presented as proof were actually demonstration screenshots of how the server could be accessed and altered. Since then, Githongo has acknowledged that the logs he offered as evidence were really only screenshots showing how the server could be accessed and changed.
“I have come to learn that the logs furnished to me by the young man were meant to be a demo on how the IEBC server can be accessed and manipulated by external unauthorized parties. The same are screen grabs commonly known as screenshots and are not actual logs,” Githongo revealed.
The answering affidavit of president-elect William Ruto, as well as those of Dennis Itumbi, Davis Chirchir, Eric Mulei, Raymond Kiprotich Bett, and Ashif Kasim, contained the submission that was addressed in the supplementary affidavit.
John Githongo has refuted any claims that logs were faked, claiming that it is impossible to fabricate information that has been handed to you by another person.
“The logs annexed to my affidavit dated 21st August 2022 are the exact logs given to me by the young man referred to in my affidavit and therefore the logs did not originate from me or the petitioner,” Githongo stated in the affidavit.
Evident embarrassment as John Githongo now runs away, via a dangerous U-turn, from his earlier claims of IEBC server hacking and the 'gang of 56'. He now claims his new evidence corroborates that of IEBC con commissioner Justus Nyang'aya. He can only give the same in camera! pic.twitter.com/QM4oLBAfPf
