Electoral fraud exposed

Mmegi investigations have revealed that P1,500 is enough for a candidate to gain access to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) voter registration books after hours. A politician in one constituency in Gaborone revealed that his colleagues would give a temporary registration officer a bundle of Omang cards of trafficked voters to register at home after hours.

“Usually this dirty game is done where a registration officer stays somewhere where they cannot be spotted. These Omang cards are taken from people in different areas especially in villages and are trafficked in Gaborone,” said the politician who did not want to be named.
