Sylvia Namubiru the Chief Executive Officer of LASPNET says although there are laws in place protecting human rights, their implementation has been constrained by the impunity of security agencies and Political Interference.

The missing ballot boxes are meant for Ogurukwot polling station in Palabek Kal Sub County, Dog Tangi polling station in Palabek Abera Sub County and Lanywang polling station in Palabek Kal Town Council.
