Kiggundu while addressing a press conference in Kampalathis morning said that the commission has put a lot of information on the commission website but unfortunately Ugandans don’t visit the site. He says that Ugandans only visit www.ec.or.ug during election period. Kiggundu also gave journalists photocopies of the information he has on the commission’s website. He also said that the electoral Commission established under Article 60 of the Constitution of Uganda, with the mandate of conducting elections and referenda.

Kiggundu caused laughter when he said that the electoral commission of Ugandais ‘a model institution and centre of excellence in election management in East and Central Africa.”

He says that the commission has done a lot in educating and sensitising Ugandan voters on elections and referenda for effective election exercise. The electoral commission ofUganda has been discredited by many Ugandans for organizing unfair polls. The polls in Ugandan many times are rigged in favour of the ruling government.
