00:00 Komalek was shocked that the contract award for the South Korean firm Miru Systems Company Limited for the election 2025 is being approved by the law.
00:09 That's after former Deputy Representative Egey Arice denied the Petition to the Supreme Court to cancel the Miru's P18 billion contract.
00:17 According to Arice, there are processes that Komalek did not follow.
00:22 And only now will the government spend this big budget for the election.
00:28 I think this is a robbery in progress.
00:31 So, the only thing that will be in vain is not the election, but the robbery.
00:36 Easily, we will be robbed of P10 billion.
00:40 The defense of Komalek's chairperson, George Erwin Garcia, is that the law was followed in the award of the contract to Miru.
00:47 Garcia also denied the contract was overpriced.
00:49 He also has a complaint regarding the request for a temporary resending order from Arice.
00:56 We may not be able to continue the automated election if we are stopped in our work.
01:04 Before this, the Supreme Court issued a decision saying grave abuse of discretion,
01:10 disqualifying Komalek from Smartmatic in the election bidding.
01:14 Garcia said they will file a motion for reconsideration regarding this.
01:19 Remember that Komalek disqualified Smartmatic in 2023 because of its allegation of bribery against former Komalek chairman Andres Bautista.
01:28 Smartmatic has denied this before.
