The Office of the Special Prosecutor is reminding the public that the law prohibits corrupt acts in relation to the elections.
“It is a serious offense to engage in vote buying, vote selling, intimidation, threats of violence, acts of violence, or impersonation of a voter of an electoral officer”.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has deployed its anti-corruption mandate and powers to assure the sanctity of the 2024 general elections through prevention, control and repression of corruption, fraud, and unfair practices in relation to the elections.
The OSP admonishes all officers charged with the counting of votes at the polling stations, collation centres, and the transmission and publication of the outcome of the elections that it is a grave offence to wilfully falsify the account of the votes or make a false return of the votes.
The Office is alive to its mandate and would promptly address any such occurrence which comes to its notice.
