The Minister of Internal Affairs Hon. Mohamed Kahin Ahmed, said that the only persons who can communicate about the issues of the electioneering processes are the National Elections Commission who are the mandated institution to do so.
He noted that the others who are commenting about the issues of the elections at this time are only out to dent the procedures underway hence can negatively impact on the expected elections to be held on the 3th of November 2024.
The minister cautioned naysayers to stop and desist from indulging in election matters that do not concern them at all.
He said that the electioneering processes are governed by laws, regulations and the by-laws that enshrine the procedures and etiquettes whose norms and tenets are expected to be adhered to.
He pointed out that there is the administrative body charged with running the elections and are aided by a taskforce committee that comprises of stakeholders who rein in erring entities, be they individuals, public, private or political institutions and hold them to account.
He said that the committee has so far been busy and already held many individuals and organizations to account.
He warned that the duties of the electoral commission should not be undermined at all.
