They even spoiled the plot for IEBC and its insistence that Al Ghurair was the best choice, and the tender was aboveboard. For all his efforts to defend the regime, Duale succeeded in confirming that the process of contracting Al Ghurair by the IEBC lacked integrity. He was saying, “Yes Al Ghurair got the tender because its promoters outbid and Raila’s ‘favoured Paarl Media’ at the IEBC auction. Meaning Duale didn’t contradict the contention that the award of the printing tender to Al Ghurair was not aboveboard, but instead attested the claim underhand deals underscored the contract. But this ballot printing tender is a blot the IEBC could quickly do without.
