The MCP witness, Daudi Suleman, was permitted by the court in September to use electronic gadgets as aiding tools in his presentation before court.

The electoral body says in its sworn statement that the step it has taken seeks to secure the Commission’s servers.

The statement in part reads: “I therefore, humbly pray for an order of the 18th September 2019 to the extent that the 2nd respondent (MEC) should not be compelled to produce its servers and gadgets or in their alternative I pray that the order would be varied so that the second respondent’s servers and system remain secure and uncompromised.”

Attorney General, Kalekeni Kaphale is quoted in a local paper that MEC is clear of its intentions and all grounds relating to the same have been contained in its application to the court.

The second petitioner in the presidential polls case (MCP) is yet to respond to the application before the Constitutional Court passes its verdict.
