NASA flagbearer Raila Odinga is today expected to declare his position on the recently awarded ballot papers tender. Al Ghurair is to print about 120 million ballot papers, election results forms and poll registers. The NASA Presidential Campaign Secretariat yesterday told the Star Raila will hold a press conference to make a pronouncement on the matter. “Raila is closely following up the matter and will make an announcement over it tomorrow [today],” NASA presidential campaign communication head Kathleen Openda said. He appeared before the committee chaired by Kisumu West MP Olago Aluoch to plead with MPs to ensure Sh2.5 billion allocated in the 2017-18 budget is moved to the supplementary budget for the commission for timely purchase of the ballot papers.
