Suspended IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba has shed more light on the contract signed between Face Technologies and the IEBC.
According to Chiloba, the commission ordered for an extra 4,600 units whose prices were similar to the initial 30,000 EVIDs.
He stated that the additional EVIDs were delivered in two batches of 2,000 and 2,600 on 26.02.2013 and 20.02.2013.
In a statement, Chiloba said that as the incoming CEO, he reviewed the invoices and established that there was no adequate ground to support the invoice claim.
He therefore paid 2,553,174.80 to discharge the obligation during the 2014/2015 financial year.

This follows the James Oswago’s submission at PAC on Monday to the parliamentary committee where he claimed that IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba made payouts of ksh.250m to for the procurement of addition EVID(s) in the absence of a contract and against his refusal to make the payment.
