The administrative secretary NRM Bushenyi Gilbert Lukooko said altering of names in the registers has been a concern since the start of the display exercise on Friday. He says they have started investigating all registrars across the district.
Al-Hajj Hassan Basajabalaba, Chairperson BushenyiNRM party, warned registrars that whoever will be pinned in voter register alteration will be fired.
They risk losing their jobs, let Natwijuka serve as an example for the rest we are not going to tolerate our party having such acts”. he said.
The NRM party electoral commission guidelines state that during the display of the NRM party register there shall be no addition or deletion of names in the register until the party’s electoral commission communicates otherwise.
The display exercise has been marred by delays, missing names and influence-peddling in different parts of the country.
