People took to the social media after the United Nations offered the government and the IEBC a free deal to print the ballot papers. The Jubilee government and the IEBC refused and pushed the same tender to the UAE based company Al Ghurair.


The controversial blogger Cyprian Nyakundi started to criticize the move as the talk got momentum in the social media.


People have been asking if there was an ill deal with the Dubai based company. "If UNDP has offered to print the ballot papers for free, why fight for Al Ghurair? We now find that there are fishy games played or else we will need the whole commission to be overhauled apart from the CEO Ezra Chiloba." Juma Mohammed a Garissa resident said.

UNDP offered to print ballot papers. It's @IEBCKenya and @JubileePartyK pushing for Al Ghurair. (@DIKEMBE)

Collaboration between western envoys and @IEBCKenya is only meant to have a peaceful election. Not a democratic one. (@sifuna)

7. @HCNicHailey @BobGodec How did we reach here? Even before we forget how envoys endorsed fraud, they are still screaming.

2. The US and other foreign envoys must SOUL SEARCH and rethink their role in Kenya and Africa. Don't be democracy hitmen @BobGodec

1. America and other foreign envoys MUST stop putting undue pressure on NASA to have talks with IEBC as constituted @BobGodec

5/ Proposed Election Laws Amendment Bill puts at risk IEBC ability to conduct better election w/in mandated 60-day timeline.

3/ It is critical that this election process be better than the last one that it be free, fair, credible ; peaceful.
