A former mamber of Kogi State House of Assembly, Hon. Alfred Bello as advocated for the use of permanent staff to be used for election as against using corps members.
He gave the advice after the Anambra State Governorship election, said using corps members has its challenges.
According to the State Treasurer of the Kogi State Peoples Democratic Party in a Statement said:
” It should be noted that one of the major problem at the Anambra polls was the ineffectiveness of BVAS machine just introduce
Apart from technological issues which INEC is expected to improve upon, manpower experience is equally another major issue that has to be looked into.
Those Adhoc staffs are hurriedly trained and those used for this election will not be available for the next election because the youth corpers used much have gone after service, inview of this experience will be lacking
How ever it will be advisable for INEC to recruit her Adhoc staffs from teachers, civil society etc who will be permanently available for the job any time they are call upon.
They will be used to the operation of the machine with more experience”.
