We are not interested in tenders, says DP Ruto

NAROK, KENYA: President Uhuru Kenyatta’s party on Tuesday said it will not sit in any tender committee meeting to decide who supplies ballot papers for the August 8 polls.

The announcement was made by Deputy President and Deputy Party leader William Ruto who was in the company of President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The two leaders said all that Jubilee wants is nothing short of Kenyans going to the polls on August 8, warning the IEBC against being drawn into a conspiracy to deny Kenyans their right to vote.

The DP, who spoke at OlMekenyu in Narok County, said the role of choosing who prints ballot papers belongs strictly to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.
