Electoral Reforms: Only Stiff Penalties will Ensure Compliance, Says House Member-elect via thisdaylive
A member-elect of the House of Representatives under the Action Alliance in Imo State, Chief Kingsley Chima, has said only very stiff penalty for electoral offenders will ensure compliance to electoral laws.
The INEC had on Thursday tasked lawmakers-elect to commence and conclude legislative actions on the amendments of the electoral laws. “We all have our agenda based on the needs of our constituents, but the issue of reforms must take precedence over all others as it is the only way to guarantee the nation democratic existence.
“The only way to stop electoral malpractice in Nigeria is by ensuring that rules guiding the conduct of elections are obeyed to the letter and those who disregard the laws are punished severely. “In reforming the present laws of elections in Nigeria, I urge all lawmakers of the 9th Assembly to come to the table with a selfless attitude for the future of the nation.
