Gachagua Adiggs Sh2 Billion Bribe in Election Technology Tender - August 2026

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has alleged that IEBC commissioners and President William Ruto received a bribe of Sh2 billion to award a technology tender to a South Korean company. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has refuted claims by Gachagua that Miru Systems, a South Korean company, has been awarded a contract for the 2027 general election technology in a scheme to rig the vote. The controversy comes as Kenya prepares for the 2027 general elections, with the tender process now under public scrutiny.
