Gareth Jenkins, former chief IT architect for Fujitsu, is testifying at the Post Office inquiry. He designed the flawed Horizon system, which led to hundreds of wrongful prosecutions for theft. Jenkins confirmed he worked on Horizon from 2008-2015, starting with a team of 20-30 people that dwindled to six by his retirement. He was one of 100 employees dubbed "distinguished engineers," but claimed this title didn't impact his pay. Jenkins' testimony is crucial in understanding the development of the faulty system that caused widespread injustice. The inquiry aims to uncover the truth behind the Post Office scandal.
