The Court of Appeal rendered its decision on April 26 and directed IEBC to restart the tender process. A week before the Court of Appeal’s decision, IEBC chief executive Ezra Chiloba was quoted widely in the media, saying that the commission will conduct a restricted tender. But some IEBC officials who sought anonymity poked holes in the process, saying that the award criteria is ambiguous and prone to mischief. This is erroneous as it lacks the objectivity of the award criteria. This award criteria is likely to confuse the evaluation committee as it provides for two distinct award criteria it cannot allow cumulative and allow partial award,” said one official who spoke to the Sunday Nation in confidence.
