[Photo/The Star]NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga has spoken of the measure he is going to take if the Independent Electoral and boundaries Commission (IEBC) insists on working with Dubai-based printing firm Al Ghurair.
Odinga claimed that the IEBC has already printed the presidential ballot papers despite complains from stake holders and now he vows to go to court to block the Sh2.5 billion tender.
"IEBC is not acting on their own but is being pushed by Jubilee to award the tender to Al Ghurair and we will go to court to block it," Odinga said.
IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati officials explained that the deal had already been signed and that it was way behind its electoral cycle schedule. However, Odinga dismissed claims that the opposition was not complaining because they are unprepared for the polls but their concerns were genuine.
"There is no cause of alarm as opposition, we are ready for elections and its IEBC that is delaying us," he said.
"Even a fool will tell you that there is something fishy about the company and as NASA we will not be led to an already flawed process,” he added.
