[kictanet] Biometric Voter Registration

[Baiju Shah]

Hey Listers,

We have learnt that IEBC is going to single source the ballot papers due to lack of time. The contract is going to Smith & Ouzman - was in the newspapers in mid November. The risks are high on failure As S&O have only got 20% of the required capacity, in Nigeria they split the order between 3-4 companies to spread the risk. This is an extremely high risk decision, commercial elements aside, we could have a chaotic elections.

Is there any authority in Kenya that does proper risk analysis, it is clear the IEBC cannot plan. :(

Happy Christmas..

Thanks,

Best Regards,

Not indians). The new bill comes to 7B. The Govt is told to pay upfront. Its bila K. kits cannot be released on time. IEBC says its going manual. Cabinet meets and refuses. Treasury shows cabinet that there is no k in the kitty. Cabinet decides to borrow with interest from Standard Bank.
