What are their sources for this information?  

There are some very strong claims, and there needs to be some verification on it, from someone in an official capacity.  See:

"Foreign players particularly the West, to crash the IEBC computer system deployed this same strategy by deploying the virus through the VPN infrastructure by Safaricom from abroad."
and

"Deployment of viruses from secure computers to network servers was reported by Strategic Intelligence where Western spy agents deployed Red-October to mine vital data from government computer systems and data bases."
