Justice George Odunga will be part of a three-judge bench set to hear the case between NASA and IEBC regarding the printing of ballot papers by Dubai-based firm Al Ghurair.
Chief Justice David Maraga also named Justice Joel Ngugi (presiding) and Justice J.J. Mativo to the bench.
Maraga authorised the judges to sit beyond working hours, if necessary, in light of the matter's urgency.
On Friday, Justice Odunga asked the CJ to constitute a three-judge bench to hear the dispute over the ballot papers.
NASA filed a suit seeking to block the tender, alleging President Uhuru Kenyatta has close ties with Al Ghurair owners.
Its
leaders said senior Jubilee officials are involved in the tender to
print 120 million ballot papers, election results forms and poll
registers.
