Democratic Party of Kenya (DP) leader Justin Muturi has urged
the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to conclude its
election-related procurement processes transparently and within the stipulated
timelines, following the opening of six bids for electoral technology
equipment.
Muturi said the commission should ensure a fair evaluation of
the tenders for the Integrated Electoral Management System (IEMS), warning
against attempts to derail the competitive procurement process and force the
electoral agency into direct procurement.
He commended the IEBC for proceeding with the tender opening
after previous challenges, including petitions before the Public Procurement
Administrative Review Board (PPARB).
