It was a busy environment as others were making calls, while some were complaining about slow service in the offices. A police officer was eventually called to bring order at the entrance as there seemed to be disorder. Some of the candidates were questioned why they had to wait until the nominations to clear their taxes, and they shared that they did not know that they would be nominated. Some stated that they never thought it was a process, hence they assumed it would be done easily after the nominations.<\/p>\n<p>It was further noted that most of the nominees had challenges, as the clearances were sent via email and they constantly requested assistance from the youth in the same queues. \u201cWe have to do it regardless, we have been sent by the people to represent them,\u201d said one woman candidate. It was said that they were given 48 hours by their presiding officers to sort out their paperwork for them to finish the nomination registration. In fact, it was said that they were only going to take pictures after they had provided all the necessary documents. The taking of pictures is the last part of the registration, wherein, the whole information is handed back to returning officers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
