The Government will deal firmly with those out to disrupt the election, Nyanza RC says.

THE Government has threatened to deal firmly with anyone who will be out to disrupt the repeat Presidential polls in Nyanza region.

Nyanza Regional Commissioner Wilson Njega has said that adequate security measures have been put in place to ensure that election in the region will not be disrupted.

Speaking to the press at the Nyanza regional Headquarters, the Nyanza regional Commissioner has assured the public that those who want to participate in the electoral process by voting will be secured during the process which takes place tomorrow.

He says the state security agents are highly alert and will ensure that the elections are conducted as planned as they will provide security to all.

He has also assured those IEBC officials who will be conducting the elections of their security during the process.

“I want to assure the public that we have put adequate security measures for the elections and I want to warn that any attempt to disrupt the process will be met by the full force of the law,” he says.

Njega says those who want to move to polling stations should do so as vote then go back home.

“Those who want to go and vote should do so and go back home because we have put adequate security measures for elections and we will not allow anyone to disrupt the polls,” he adds.

He says all the election materials will be taken to the polling stations by this evening without fail.

The Nyanza Regional Commissioner’s sentiments comes a few hours after it emerged that no polling station had received the election Material because it is alleged that those who were trained as Presiding Officers and Deputy Presiding Officers together with polling clerks failed to report to various Constituencies IEBC offices to collect the election material for the tomorrow’s exercise.
