Oraro poked holes in Chebukati's submission, in which the IEBC boss said he had been informed of the NSAC's presence at Bomas by Prof Guliye. He said that Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua had called Chebukati to inform him that he would send a delegation.
"The attitude of the IEBC chair is exhibited by the contempt with which he treated this team. They were not met when they came... They were kept waiting for four hours," Oraro said.
He said it was false for Chebukati to claim there was no previous link with the NSAC, saying the body had a working relationship with the IEBC and Mr Chebukati, in particular.
Oraro highlighted a meeting between Chebukati and the NSAC that took place on July 4. "He briefed the NSAC on the status of preparedness for the election... and sought to involve the NSAC fully in matters of security," the lawyer said, adding that security team was apolitical.
The AG also weighed in on whether tallying and verifying of presidential results was the sole responsibility of the IEBC chair, saying that the courts had affirmed it was the commission's duty in the Maina Kiai case of 2017.
"It is clear that, according to (the) Maina Kiai (case), the role of the chair is to declare results. The Office of the Attorney General wants the clarification of this court on this matter for future elections," he said.
