“The alarming issue now is the inconsistencies and lack of police presence in some areas. They announced Monday last week that the AIG has been assigned to supervise the elections. From that, you smell rats. It is not good enough for confidence building. If there is no written order, it should not be possible for anybody, no matter how highly placed to make an oral posting of the police or army,” he said.
