The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC)
is now preparing for the worst with regard to Thursday’s ruling over the
printing of the Presidential ballot papers. The commission is already looking
for a new company to replace Al Ghurair in the printing of the Presidential
ballot papers in case the appeal does not succeed. Sources at the IEBC
confirmed that officials had identified five firms that could do the work of
printing Presidential ballots. The companies under consideration include two
United Security Kingdom Security printing experts, Tall Security and GI
Solutions. South African firm Pearl Media, which is linked to NASA flag bearer,
Raila Odinga, is also listed and Unprint and Reforms. The IEBC has already
secured Treasury Approval to undertake specialized tendering which eliminates
cumbersome procurement procedures.
