MONROVIA – The Public Procurement Concession Commission (PPCC) has for the second time rejected the National Elections Commission’s (NEC) request for approval to award Ekemp/Palm Insurance the contract to supply Biometric Voter Registration equipment, software and materials for the 2023 presidential and legislative elections. The PPCC in its response to the NEC’s request for no objection to the award of the contract, stated that its review of the video of the re-demonstration exercise observed malfunctioning of Ekemp’s equipment used to print the biometric voter ID on the spot as required. Ekemp also failed to print within the time NEC allotted. The PPCC raised eyebrows at the NEC acceptance of the late submission of the card by Ekemp. The PPCC admonished the NEC to immediately revert to expeditiously review the remaining companies and select a company that would be most suitable for the Supply of Biometric Voter Registration Equipment, Software and Materials for the 2023 Presidential and Legislative Elections.
