The Dubai firm that had been awarded the ballot paper printing tender by IEBC resulting to major fallouts between the commission and the opposition coalition NASA is still among companies likely to be considered for a direct tender award for production of presidential ballots. Speaking on today, Wednesday 12, July, during an interview at a local radio station, Mr Chiloba said they were yet to decide which company could be awarded the tender that had been quashed by the court last Friday but Al Ghurair was among those that could be considered.
