Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Bomi County Senator Edwin Melvin Snowe has called on the Government of Liberia (GOL) to increase funding for election security to counter threats of electoral violence.<\/p>\n

Mr. Snowe chairs the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Parliamentary Committees on Political Affairs, Peace, Security, and African Peer Review Mechanism.<\/p>\n

His calls for budgetary increase for security come ahead of Liberia\u2019s crucial presidential and legislative elections this October.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I saw the election Budget for Liberia, I didn\u2019t see any component covering security,\u201d Mr. Snowe said on a talk show Wednesday, 6 July 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we need to invest in security as we proceed towards the election to counter threats of electoral violence,\u201d he pleaded.<\/p>\n

The Bomi Senator warned that the lack of adequate funding for security will leave the security of the election at increasing risk.<\/p>\n

Senator Snow prodded the government to provide special training for the security apparatus to resolve election violence.<\/p>\n

During recent by-elections, Liberia witnessed a series of electoral violence.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Mr. Snowe has called on the National Elections Commission (NEC) to adopt an open media engagement to keep the public abreast with election-related activities.<\/p>\n

He recommended that NEC develop a regular press briefing to avoid speculation on election matters.<\/p>\n

He believes that this exercise will help the commission combat falsehood about the country\u2019s electoral process.<\/p>\n
