Babu Owino threatens Venezuelan Jose Camargo who ‘fixed’ Ruto as President-elect

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has launched an online onslaught on Venezuelan Jose Camargo who is at the centre of presidential election rigging.

Babu has vowed to frustrate the Venezuelan who was among foreigners arrested at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on charges of interfering with the election.

Azimio lawyer Julie Soweto in her presentation in Supreme Court said that Jose Camargo was the one who decided who the President of Kenya would be.

Soweto on Friday September 2, 2022 demonstrated to the court how the staging of results was happening in the IEBC portal.

She made the live video presentation to demonstrate discrepancies from the IEBC’s public portal.

“You are tech savvy and you can access the IEBC portal. I’m asking that we go to the forms portal,” she said.

Soweto showed the court how Camargo made maneuvers in the server in Murang’a county, in Gacharaigu Primary school.

She said the forms were intercepted and had time to decide which once they could manipulate before sending them to IEBC portal.

Soweto further demonstrated how a single KIEMS kit transmitted results from different locations.

“How can the same KIEMS kit transmit from two different locations; Mt. Elgon and Nyeri?… Because of time I cannot demonstrate the thousands of forms we have identified with the same issue,” she said.

Camargo was among three other foreigners Joel Gustavo Rodríguez García and Salvador Javier Suarez who were arrested on July 21 while carrying election materials.

The three were said to be employees of Smartmatic International B.V, the company procured by IEBC to provide technology for the August 9 election.

Smartmatic International was contracted by IEBC to facilitate electronic voter identification and results transmission.
