    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, Mr. Imanyara had also raised this matter with me and I wish to state as follows:- At the moment, no election should be taking place within the local authorities. Elections, in accordance with Cap.265, should commence on 30th June up to 15th August, 2009. This is for either election of mayors or chairmen of committees. So, anybody who is purporting to conduct elections at this time is acting illegally and the clerks of all local authorities must be aware of this. A circular will be issued from the Ministry reminding them that the election dates shall be between 30th June and 15th August, 2009. That has to come out very clearly in accordance with the Act. The second point is that I will take up this matter, both with the police and also with my officials in the Ministry so that any officer who is purporting to be breaching the law shall be dealt with accordingly."
