Why INEC Can’t Prosecute Electoral Offenders – Jega

The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Attahiru Jega, on Wednesday in Abuja said the commission cannot successfully prosecute electoral offenders because it lacks adequate funds and manpower.

The commission, during the course of various elections across Nigeria, apprehended about 870 thousand electoral offenders, Mr. Jega said.

Only 200 of these, 0.02 per cent, have been successfully prosecuted.

The commission chairman said this at the INEC / Civil Society dialogue on plans and progress toward the 2015 elections. Mr. Jega said the prosecution was over offences arising from the 2011 voter registration and general elections.

One of the thousands of electoral offenders yet to be prosecuted is a serving senator from Bayelsa State whom the commission said it caught with ballot boxes and thumb-printed ballot papers during elections.

Mr. Jega said prosecuting has been “a big problem” because of paucity of funds and manpower.

Before nko. First!

Power play in Nigerian politics is as old as when we got our Independence in 1960, 1,000 Jegas will only waffle and move on as usual, it takes some measurements of ruthlessness to rid this country of the various corrupt practises that has portrayed us in bad light to the outside world. It's a big SHAME!

Make them release /allocate another money to him abi. Ok noted

Jega can you prosecute your bosses?

Jega can you prosecute yourself?

Crap..

LOL... no funds?

Nigeria is a joke

Below is the budget proposal of INEC for 2012 and 2013 - combined of about N70billion and you say there's no money.
