The same person who paid for the accommodation of electoral commissioners at a Kilimani hotel in August paid for their press conference at a city hotel earlier in the day, the tribunal investigating the four heard.

Serena Hotel management has written to Justice Aggrey Muchelule Tribunal revealing that Edwin Ogwe paid for the venue of the August 15 press conference where four IEBC commissioners dismissed as "opaque" the presidential election results which were about to be announced by their chairman at Bomas national tallying centre.
