The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has been challenged to disclose the status of its system’s security amid claims of spyware and Artificial Intelligence (AI) manipulation.

In a public petition, Nakuru activist Laban Omusundi wants IEBC to publicly acknowledge spyware and AI-driven interference risks and outline the threat model applicable to all electoral assets including Kiems kit among others.
