IEBC will appeal Justice George Odunga’s decision canceling a ballot printing tender.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission say that it will appeal the decision that nullified the 2.5 billion Shillings tender awarded to a Dubai-based firm.
IEBC also asked the High Court to supply them with full details of the proceedings, Judgement and Decree.
“Kindly supply us with certified copies of the proceedings, judgment and decree, ’reads the letter.
Justice George Odunga ruled that the tender awarded to Al Ghurair Printing and Publishing Company, had failed to comply with the Election laws.
“It was unreasonable for IEBC to proceed with the award of tender without taking into account the new regulations,” ruled Justice Odunga.
IEBC was further directed to begin a fresh tendering process which adheres to the applicable laws.
IEBC had given Al Ghurair firm notice of award to supply 130 million ballot papers.
Cord argues that the specification of the ballot papers, declaration forms and poll registers as contained in the tender documents were not in conformity with the requirements of the Election Laws (Amendment) Act 2016 and the integrated electronic electoral system as established by law.
