Raila Demands IEBC Servers Be Moved from France to Kenya

Opposition leader Raila Odinga has demanded that Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) servers be moved from France to Kenya.

Speaking during a rally at Mama Ngina grounds in Mombasa County on Sunday, the National Super Alliance (NASA) leader said that it was wrong for important information on Kenyans to be hosted in a foreign country, contrary to regulations by Communications Authority of Kenya.

"We do not want a server, with information about Kenyans, to be located outside the country. The server should be brought to Kenya and not France," Raila said.

The former Prime Minister further said that the Electoral Commission must open the databases to public to make sure that they are empty before another election is held.

The opposition has persistently demanded the French Information Technology firm, OT-Morpho be sidelined from the repeat presidential election, on claims that it was involved in bungling the cancelled August 8th presidential poll.
