received over 40000, Forms 34 A and about 170 Forms 34B. We have requested IEBC for all these forms for purposes of verification. Members of your secretariat have informed us that they can only avail 29000 Forms 34A as at 11pm of 10th August 2017. We kindly request the Commission expedite (sic) release of the remaining Forms 34A &B to enable us complete the verification exercise.” [249] Again on 14th August 2017, the deponent wrote: “This is a follow up on our letter dated 10th August 2017. Until now, IEBC has only furnished NASA with 29000 forms 34 A and 108 forms 34B. We urgently require the unsupplied ten thousand (10000) forms 34A and one hundred and eighty seven (187) forms 34 B to complete the list of documents the Commission was supposed to release to all the candidates in the just concluded general elections. Attached please find a list of the outstanding 187 constituencies for your immediate action.” [250] On 14th August 2017, the Secretary and CEO of the 1st respondent wrote; “Reference is made to your letter dated 14th August 2017 requesting to be supplied with the remaining forms that were not supplied earlier. The Commission is in a position to provide all the required form 34Bs immediately. We are however not able to supply form 34As at the moment but the same shall be availed to you as soon as possible.” [251] It is a fact that the correspondence quoted above did take place, and the contents of the said correspondence were never controverted. On this basis, a number of questions arise: Presidential  Petition  No.  1  of  2017                                                                                                                                                                                                            104  |  P a g e
