Jubilee Party top leadership has continued to criticise the National Super Alliance (Nasa), following revelations that the ballot papers tender was issued illegally.
Nasa said they had established that the tender which was issued to Al Ghurari Printing and Publishing company, yet the firm's CEO Aziz Al Ghurair, is an intimate friend of the Kenyatta family and a frequent guest at the home of Muhoho Kenyatta, President Uhuru Kenyatta's younger brother.Addressing the press, Nasa co-principal ANC party leader Musalia Mudavadi said Muhoho is the local contact for Al Ghurair and possibly a shareholder in the firm.However, Deputy President William Ruto slammed the Opposition, saying such claims were unprofounded, with aims to interfere with IEBC's preparations for the August 8 polls.
According to Ruto, it does not matter which firm is given the ballot papers tender, but how Kenyans will vote, and for who.
"We know their plans. They want to halt IEBC operations so as the elections can be postponed. We can make Mudavadi the chairman of IEBC and still beat them. They are very good at propaganda," Ruto said, Thursday.
He was speaking in Kericho, alongside Uhuru, who warned that Nasa's plans to interfere with IEBC operations, would not work.
