(TMI) – PKR strategy director Rafizi Ramli (pic) turned the tables on the Election Commission (EC) leadership by daring them to answer why the contract to supply indelible ink and hats during GE13 were awarded to one person linked to three different companies.

Rafizi said the EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof and his deputy Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar were trying to deflect blame away from them by challenging him to repeat his allegation that they were linked to the supplier of the indelible ink, outside parliament.

Companies belonging to Mohamed Salleh Mohd Ali, the man Rafizi named in the Dewan Rakyat as one of the directors with links to the EC, was selected to supply election materials, including the ink, to the EC through direct negotiations.

“First they will have to answer why the three companies – Nash Ventures Sdn Bhd, Ayumi Resources Sdn Bhd, and Bumi Services Sdn Bhd, linked to Mohamed Salleh Mohd Alli – were awarded the contracts to supply the hats,” said Rafizi.

He had also said another company, Integrated Challenger (M) Sdn Bhd, which is also linked to Mohamed Salleh, had supplied the indelible ink in GE13.

In a statement today, Rafizi said they had failed to answer what was their involvement in the contracts being awarded to Mohamed Salleh.

Rafizi told the both of them to stop issuing dares and take legal action against him.

“I had already repeated my allegation outside the parliament regarding the supplier of the indelible ink and the suspicious process of how the awards of the contracts took place,” he said.
