The company which was awarded the disputed tender, Safran Identity and Security, is listed as an interested party. The six fault the IEBC of directly procuring the tender and removing the voter registration component from the Kenya Integrated Elections Management System (KIEMS). They claim that the removal altered the integrated electronic electoral system that enables biometric voter registration, electronic voter identification and transmission of results. Safran is the same company which supplied the biometric voter registration kits before the March 2013 elections. They fault IEBC of failing to make public the revised specifications for the said tender saying that it indicates a lack of transparency.
