For the second time in less than two weeks, a High Court judge has declined to stop the procurement of Biometric Voter Registration Kit meant for March 2013 general election. Judge David Majanja refused to give temporary order sought by activist Okoiti Omtatah and businessman Shailesh Kumar Nataverbhai.
The two sought to stop the supply of BVR kits on grounds that the procurement process does not meet the requirements under the constitution. Omtatah said the procurement process was neither fair nor competitive and as a result the court should stop the contract.
Initially Omtatah challenged same procurement process saying the company awarded the tender suffers from credibility and integrity crises for having been branded as corrupt by a Paris criminal court in France. Omtatah does not want the tender to be given to Safran Morpho or its affiliates or subsidiaries in Canada because of the integrity issues.
