HOHOE ELECTION TASK FORCE INAUGURATED (PAGE 16)

THE 11-member Hohoe Municipal Election Task Force Committee has been inaugurated in Hohoe and tasked to ensure smooth and peaceful general election on December 7.
The committees members are drawn from the Police, Customs, Excise and Preventive Service (CEPS), Fire Service, Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), Immigration Service and the Electoral Commission (EC).
In his inaugural address, the Sector Commander of CEPS, Mr Fredua Boakye Agyeman, urged all security service personnel who would be deployed on election day to be extra cautious, maintain discipline and be alert at all times. Above all, they need to remain non-partisan before, during and after the elections.
“To the commanders who would be in charge of the various districts: We expect you to lead by example. You must ensure that all your men are well briefed on their duties, and do not hesitate to contact your superiors when confronted with any problem”, he cautioned.
Mr Agyeman urged the security service to display a high sense of fairness in order to uphold the confidence reposed in them by the public.
“I look forward to maximum co-operation from members of the security service and a cordial relationship with the general public. This is the only country we have, and we must work diligently to protect it”, he advised.
