NCD scrutineers told to abide by dress code

The NCD Metropolitan police commander Ben Turi is warning all scrutineers for candidates at counting sites to be dressed strictly in accordance with the dress code set by the Electoral commission.

Turi said the Electoral Commission has set that all scrutineers be in White shirts with clear Identification in order for them to be eligible to enter into the counting premises.

He says that anyone dressed inappropriately or without clear identification will not be allowed into the counting venues.

All supporters are also being warned that police will not hesitate to use force if they must; they are advised to be vigilant but also cooperative with the police and other supporters.

Turi reiterated that there will be no tolerance for violence or any kind of disturbance during and after the counting each day.

Meanwhile, all counting venues are anticipated to have high security with security personnel engaged during the counting period.
