Blogger Itumbi Accused of Hacking IEBC Systems

He has been branded a controversial journalist and blogger not because of scandalous acts but because Dennis Itumbi has unearthed some of the dirty work that goes unreported.

After recently admitting that he was part of President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta’s campaign team, Itumbi was yesterday brought to task for allegedly hacking the electoral body’s server to manipulate the results in favor of Uhuru. If you remember well, last week there rumours that the servers at IIEBC were hacked into and that’s why the electronic transmission of provisional results was halted leading to the tally of the results manually.

In an inbox message sent to the blogger’s Facebook page, an unnamed individual claimed that the blogger hacked the IEBC server and will soon be exposed in court (referring to the election petition by CORD coalition). Without distorting anything, here’s the message verbatim;

“Dennis just tell me the truth, why did you hack the IEBC server? why did you use your skill and talent to deny Kenyans their right? Don’t deny because the whole thing has been traced to your number 0724*****6, you hacked and am sure you will be exposed in court, Eng.Rege will testify and show how you helped rig in Jubilee, History will not spare, remember he who lives by the sword dies by the sword…he who hacks, will also be hacked to death, be careful and just know you will not get away with the mischief, you are a hopeless idiot, a fool without a proper job, you have no future, you hacked but we will win the case…..go to hell” Well…bring it on is all I say to you @fake name and if you mean what you say use your real name and use an account that is existent….

However, Itumbi response was not deterred as evident in a response to one of his friends. “…many before me have undergone worse threats from real people…fake people cannot be given any weight…I remain strong and shall not be distracted,” asserted Itumbi.
