Safety and security tips during this election period
COMMENT | Samson Tinka | Elections are known to be an activity that attracts crowds, generates excitement as people switch from happiness, anger and back. Candidates commit time and money, whereas voters commit time and expectations.
In third world countries, where democracies are still young, candidates and their supporters expect winning and nothing short of that. We rarely see opponents congratulating others. If it happens its on a small scale, as it is always a matter of life and death.
These campaigns attract both good and bad people. Bad people commit all sorts of crimes including, theft, assault, abuse of traffic rules and regulations, over speeding, driving or riding under influence of alcohol and drugs, mugging, fighting, use of abusive language and includes civilians confronting security agencies.
