Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina now wants the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to destroy the controversial 2017 server.
According to the senator, an ardent supporter of the ODM leader Raila Odinga, ignoring the 2017 mess will haunt the country and cause loss and pain to the Azimio la Umoja.
He said the servers should be destroyed to guarantee free and fair elections.
Ledama added that elections in Kenya are not won during the voting exercise but during the transmission of the results.

"We have remained ignorant for way too long !!!!! This IEBC server issue unless it’s dealt with NOW will make us cry again! Ask Davis Chirchir elections are not determined by voting but rather transmission …. Now let’s get to work and destroy ALL old IEBC servers," he said.
The 2017 election server sparked controversy during the hearing of the presidential election petition at the Supreme Court of Kenya.
The IEBC after being instructed to open the server for verification of results failed to do so with reports indicating that the electoral body said those managing it were out of the country.
The server could therefore not help in verifying the elections results of 2022 and formed part of issues that led to the cancellation of the presidential votes by the supreme court that also ordered the polls be repeated.
