On Monday evening, the commission held a plenary meeting during which several issues, among them how to handle the issue, was deliberated. The second report gravitates around splitting the tender by mandating an international firm to print the presidential ballot papers while the rest can be printed locally. Other than Al Ghurair, the other firms that are being considered include Kenya's Ellams Products, Tall Security Printing and G.I Solutions, both of UK, and South Africa's Unprint Limited. G.I Soluions has done elections in Nigeria and Togo, Tall Security and Al Ghurair did partial elections in Uganda, and Uniprint has printed papers for municipal elections in South Africa.
