The National Super Alliance (NASA) on Saturday claimed that Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) CEO Ezra Chiloba had signed a suspicious deal on Thursday night.
Speaking in Vihiga, NASA principal Musalia Mudavadi alleged that the Commission signed a contract for the fresh controversial election with French digital security company OT-Morpho which rebranded to IDEMIA on 28th September.
Mudavadi alleged that the firm threatened to pull out of the election unless the electoral body signed an inflated deal with it.
"On 28th September, two days ago, Chiloba signed a deal with OT-Morpho at night. Kenyans paid the company Sh4 Billion for six races in the first election, now they are charging Sh 2.4 Billion...and then they come and lie to people at Statehouse with 'something small'," he stated.
Speaking at the same forum, NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga claimed that experts had confirmed that the company's services for the fresh polls should cost Sh 800 Million, but the contract had been deliberately inflated by Jubilee operatives within the Commission to Sh 2.4 Billion.
The former Prime Minister reiterated calls for Chiloba to vacate office maintaining that there would be no election without a level playing field as he accused Jubilee of changing the rules of the game with the proposed electoral laws being pushed in Parliament.
Last week, the Alliance announced that it will hold countrywide peaceful demonstrations on Monday and Friday of every week to push for electoral reforms.
Their list of demands, dubbed 'Irreducible Minimums' include the blacklisting of OT-Morpho and Dubai-based printing firm Al Ghurair.
Odinga has accused the companies of abetting electoral fraud in the August polls and has made it clear that he will not participate in the October 26th election if the firms are still involved in the forthcoming process.
He has also called on Jubilee to drop the proposed changes to Kenya's electoral laws, describing the amendments as retrogressive and worse than what was there before 1997.
