13/05/2009 One voter, one ballot - says Kiggundu
Eng. Dr. Kiggundu made the statement following receipt of complaints from the public that some people in Rubaga Division, Kampala District, where a by-election for Division Chairperson is scheduled to take place, registered twice and also possess more than one voter’s card. He clarified that as far as the Commission is concerned, the primary document to allow one vote is the photo-bearing voters register at the polling station on polling day. Eng. Dr. Kiggundu further said that all registered voters in Rubaga Division and else where in the country where elections will take place, shall be eligible to vote at the polling station where they are registered. ‘This shall include all persons whose particulars and photographs appear on the register whether they have a voters’ card or not, as well those persons whose particulars appear on the voters’ register but whose photographs are missing, but can be positively (properly) identified’ he said. He warned the general public that the selling and buying of Voters’ Cards is strictly prohibited and any one caught in the practice will be prosecuted. ‘Holding a voter’s card,’ Kiggundu clarified, ‘does not entitle you to vote unless you are on the Voters’ Register. It is only that person whose particulars appear on the National Voters’ Register for a particular polling station who will be allowed to vote at that station.’ Concerning fears over possible unethical conduct by polling officials, Eng. Dr. Kiggundu said the Commission has already made public the list of all recruited polling officials for scrutiny by the political parties, candidates and the electorate. He asked the public to immediately report any complaint to the Returning Officer or the Commission so that their concerns can be addressed. He appealed to all Ugandans to bring to its attention any acts of abuse of the voters’ card, and any other irregular conduct during the electoral process.

Section 9 of the Political Parties and Organisations Act (2005) requires every registered political party to annually submit to the commission a written declaration of the sources of funds and other assets. The Section empowers the Commission to de-register, through a High Court order, any non-compliant party/organisation. The Chairman, Electoral Commission, Eng. Dr. Kiggundu made this ultimatum during a meeting with representatives of political parties/organisations, held at the Electoral Commission offices on Thursday 14th August 2008. He noted that none of the 35 registered political parties have fully complied with the provisions of the law, which include declaration of assets and liabilities, as well as submission of audited accounts. Eng. Dr. Kiggundu regretted the apparent lack of knowledge by some political parties about their obligations under the act, as well as seeming reluctance/failure by others to comply with the provisions of the law. He reminded the parties that wel-organised accounting and reporting structures will enable the Commission implement provisions under the new Bill (2008) which include funding of political parties. He emphasised that the Commission shall not hesitate to move to the next stage of enforcement should the political parties continue with non-compliance with the law. The party representatives appreciated the Commission for organising the sensitisation meeting, and pledged to comply accordingly. The Political Parties and Organisations Act (PPOA) 2005 was enacted to make provision for regulating the financing and functioning of political parties and organisations; their formation, registration, membership and organisation. The Act, inter-alia, mandates the Electoral Commission to register and regulate political parties and organisations. 24/07/2008 EC CHAIRMAN ADDRESSES PROBATIONAL POLICE CONSTABLES AT NAMBOLE The Chairman of the Electoral Commission, Eng. Dr. Badru M. Kiggundu, has reiterated that the main role of the Uganda Police Force in the electoral process is to create a secure and orderly environment so that voters exercise their Constitutional rights of determining their own leaders. Being the lead agency responsible for maintaining security during elections, the Police play a major role in determining the freeness and fairness of an electoral exercise. Eng. Dr. Kiggundu made the observation on Wednesday 23rd July 2008, during a presentation on the role of the Uganda Police Force in the electoral process to Police trainees at Mandela National Stadium, Namboole. He stated that the recruitment of more manpower in the Uganda Police Force means more professional personnel will be available to provide security and related logistical support to the Electoral Commission during the 2011 General Elections. Eng. Dr. Kiggundu said that in order to solve this issue, the Electoral Commission submitted a proposal for amendment of the electoral laws to enable election officials, including Election Constables to cast their vote a few days before the national exercise.He urged the new police constables to maintain the good relationship the two institutions have developed over the years. 22/07/2008 EC PARTICIPATES IN AGRICULTURAL SHOW
