The High Court has upheld the conviction of former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) CEO James Oswago and his then Deputy Wilson Shollei.
Mr. Oswago and Mr. Shollei had sought to overturn the conviction of abuse of office and failure to comply with the procurement laws imposed on them by a lower court in 2022.
But Prosecution, led by Vincent Monda, Alex Akula and Annete Wangia convinced Milimani Anti-Corruption Judge Prof. Nixon Sifuna to dismiss the Appeal.
The accused’s conviction, which relates to the procurement laws of Biometric Voter kits for the 2013 General Election, is accompanied by a sentence of a Sh7.5 million fine or four-year jail term for each.
