expanding why is it an old president his reelection a new poll is due in october a correspondent stephanie decker is in nairobi talk us through the findings stephanie. we knew that they were going to be pointing the finger at the electoral commission so they called the i.e.d. the but it is quite damning language again and you just read out some of the things that the judges have been saying that the idea he has infiltrated and compromised touch you know what you just mentioned they refused to open their servers for investigation and if they had nothing to hide they would have given access to the logs also saying kenyans injured long hours and cast their vote and after that it became opaque and that they cannot confirm that we were that would be working out or got the majority vote so i think the question now is are they going to. they who compromise the system and how where we move from there it is of this very short space of time forty days james of the elections we take place clearly the i.d.c. in its current form has issues with it we're going to have to wait and see they're still reading out

a new poll is due in october our correspondent stephanie decker is in nairobi about these accusations. the verdict the final report is now into it that our the judge has been very meticulous and this is just not the final report quite. it is one of the interesting thing that we've heard just in the last hour or so is when it comes to thirty fourth you know this is the final court of the result of many others thirty for a good start at the polling station then there's thirty four b. which is the can and then there is one final form that announces who the president is what we just heard that the security features were not present at all not form and therefore the supreme court cannot verify the authenticity but i don't think it gets any more symbolic than that jane. where we are right now as you've been reporting earlier some of the things that the supreme court judges have said that the electoral commission to infiltrate has been compromised but they haven't gone into details about what they mean by infiltrated that they refused the election commission refused to open up their server t
