“My colleague assured me of some initiative to get the Electoral Commission here and I think that probably we should see the definite details, we need to interrogate their procurement issues, their budget issues post-Covid-19 and then have an understanding of what they intend to do… in discharging their mandate under the constitution in conducting the 2020 general elections. When are they appearing?â€
