The Court of Appeal yesterday declined to stop fresh tendering for the supply of ballot papers in a decision seen to remove hurdles which might have delayed the general election. They said the printing firm has the opportunity to participate in the fresh tendering. Secondly, the judges noted that Al Ghurair Printing and Publishing Company did not demonstrate how it will suffer loss if the fresh tendering process takes place. Odunga further directed IEBC to tender afresh and follow the laid down law for the supply of ballot papers. The printing firm moved to the Court of Appeal after the tender was nullified.
