Stolen Guns, Escaped Inmates and Poll Security

Political parties are genuinely concerned about the fairness of the upcoming elections. With the House of Representatives (HoR) elections scheduled for March 5, the country cannot afford to head to the polls while hundreds of stolen weapons remain missing and fugitives from recent prison breaks remain at large. These issues raise political and moral questions that challenge the government’s ability to conduct free, fair, and peaceful elections. Weapons in the hands of unknown groups create fear among the public, undermining the very essence of a peaceful election. Public trust, already shaken by recent turmoil, cannot be restored if the threat of armed violence persists. Each unreturned weapon and every escaped prisoner represents a potential risk to peace. This is why urgent calls from major political parties for the immediate recovery of stolen arms and the capture of fugitives are crucial.
