It has emerged that the chief pointman at ECK for the PNU rigging machine was Mr Suleiman Chege,who helped and coordinated the rigging of the elections that led to the unprecedented violence never witnessed in Kenya before, that led to the deaths of more than 1000 Kenyans and displaced over 300,000 people.
The other person was the ECK IT manager Mr Mr Ayub Imbira.THe stadard says"Mr Suleiman Chege, who was deputy Commission Secretary in charge of administration during the polls, and Mr Ayub Imbira, the IT manager at the ECK, may have more to tell than Kivuitu.
"Even if they remove everybody and Chege remains, nothing will change at the ECK," a source said.
As the one in charge of administration, Chege was the one the returning officers answered to. Immediately after the elections, he was promoted to commission secretary.
It is not the first time Chege’s name has been sucked into election controversy.
The Standard on Sunday established that in 1992, after the first multi-party elections, retired President Moi was furious with Chege, whom he accused of manipulating and inflating figures in favour of Mr Kenneth Matiba, who came second in what turned out to be a strangely stiff contest between the two.
Register
After the 1992 election, Moi tried to transfer Chege to the Ministry of Water as undersecretary, but he later left him alone
Imbira, on the other hand, was the one managing the register in the last election. The register itself had numerous faults, including ODM presidential candidate Raila’s Odinga’s name missing from the Lang’ata constituency register on voting day.
"Imbira was the only one who could insert or remove names from the computer as the IT manager," a source said."
