Many critics who spoke to THISDAY pointed specifically at Section 50 (2) of the draft bill, whose consideration begins tomorrow at the National Assembly, which bars electronic transmission of results.
In fact, about 22 Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) have raised the alarm over the alleged plan by the National Assembly to pass the bill without the inclusion of the electronic collation of results in the bill.
