Kenya’s electoral commission said it’s yet to decide which company will print ballot papers for elections being held in two months, after a local newspaper said the deal had been handed to a Dubai-based firm whose contract has been blocked twice.
“We are still working on it,” Andrew Limo, spokesman for the Independent Electoral & Boundaries Commission, said by phone on Wednesday from the capital, Nairobi. “Communication will be made as soon as a decision has been taken.”
