Election materials for the Western Highlands Province arrived in the province and have been safely and securely stored away, says Highlands Eastern-End Divisional Commander Assistant Commissioner Rigga Neggi.
Mr Neggi said the materials were picked up by security personnel at the Kagamuga airport in Mt Hagen and brought directly to the Kimininga Police Barracks in the Western Highlands province.
Mr Neggi reassured candidates, supporters and the people of Western Highlands Province that the materials are secure. He said security personnel are monitoring and providing 24-hour security for the ballot papers.
“We do not want to see anyone coming around to the Kimininga Police Barracks. You have no reason to come around unless you are a security personnel assigned to watch over the election materials. Only security personnel are allowed to stay there as they are performing their constitutional duties in monitoring and keeping close eyes on the election materials,” Mr Neggi said.
