The French company that supplied information technology equipment for the August 8, 2017, General Election has sued Raila Odinga and the three other NASA co-principals for defamation. Idemia Identity and Security France, formerly known as Safran Morpho, provided electronic systems that identified Kenyan voters and transmitted election results. The presidential results of the August 8 election were nullified by the Supreme Court over what it called irregularities and illegalities. The French company says that during and after the election politicians made statements insinuating that it had engaged in irregularities. The company in its suit papers says that articles in question purport that it helped rig the 2017 election, hence, tarnishing its reputation.
