REVEALED: Mary Wambui, State House and now the IEBC mystery

The Kenyan DAILY POSTPolitics01:58

Friday July 20, 2012 - We at the DAILY POST inform Kenyans without fear or favour.

Reports just in, is that PNU activist Mary Wambui is behind the wrangles in the tendering process for the supply of Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

Through her contacts from State House, the controversial political activist has been awarded the lucrative tender to supply Biometric Voter Registration kits worth Sh 3.9 billion by the IEBC.

The company named Symphony Ltd which Wambui is one of the directors was blacklisted by parliament after it was declared insolvent in year 2007-08 but it has been awarded the tender anyway.

According to unaudited accounts of the company, the firm made Sh 3.4 billion sales in the last two years but placed a bid to supply Sh 3.9 billion Biometric Voter registration equipments.

The company is also on the spotlight over financing of Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi’s presidential campaigns.

Last month, Mary Wambui visited President Mwai Kibaki at his office in Harambee House, in a bid to woo him to push for her to be given the tender by the commission. This is the visit that cost the head of Presidential Security’s job after Mama Lucy Kibaki ordered him reassigned immediately because he had allowed Mary to visit her husband.

Wrangles over the tendering process have even forced the resignation of the initial board as IEBC sought to fast track the tendering process.

Is this not CORRUPTION?
