00:00Okay, and what does it feel like in the polling station? Is it active? Are there a lot of people waiting?
00:06So there aren't a lot of people right now. That is why I picked this time because I know this is usually a long time for this polling station.
00:13But it went very smoothly. As you see, I went here and I came back out in a relatively short time.
00:19As a matter of fact, I think if I did not stand around here with you and I would have been in and out even faster earlier.
00:24In terms of any regularities, Highland-wide, anything that you're hearing?
00:28So I have had no issue, but I understand that there was an issue with the requirement that was necessary for our polling agents, I think.
00:36But I think that was resolved in one of the stations down on the west.
00:40But I think that was resolved. We have a battery of lawyers who've been assigned to work with us.
00:45So whenever we find anything, we just send it directly to them and then they could treat with it accordingly.
00:50But I think it was resolved.
00:51I heard in Boko, I heard that the TPP was reported to the EBC for an issue of advising near a polling station.
00:59So I have not heard anything about that.
01:01And in terms of what we saw yesterday, we saw the police very early this morning, the poll commander, the issues that Martin sent out releasing all police at all polling stations,
01:11everybody on standby yesterday. They warned that they will deal firmly with any issues of indiscipline or misbehaviour. Anything today?
01:19I have not heard of anything. I have seen the police officers back and forth. My office is, you know, pretty close by. So I have seen them back and forth.
01:28I think everything has been going smoothly thus far. It's unfortunate the situation that happened yesterday.
01:34And I want to also call out for us to be a little more disciplinary for us to remember that all of these civilians and that after today, we all need to live here peacefully.
01:43So that when we have to tell you, we can lift our heads high tomorrow as well.
01:48And one would have reached out if you were my student, did they do you want to support?
01:52Oh yeah, I actually spoke to her shortly after it happened because she sent a message to us. I spoke to her.
01:59And she was seen at the hospital and I have not spoken to her this morning, but she was fine up to yesterday evening after she left the hospital.
02:07What are you planning to do for the rest of the day?
02:09So as you see, my phone just rang because my staff was calling me because we needed to find the polling station for somebody who needed to go and vote.
02:16So I'm going to be busy holding and ensuring that we get as many people to come out because that's the way this democracy works.
02:23Will there be any legal action against the prisoners in the incident from yesterday?
02:27So we have our lawyers looking at it and we will work with the lady to see what she wants to do.
02:32And we will support her whatever direction she wants to go.
02:35Thank you. Thank you so much.
02:37Can I see the finger? Just watch the answer with the finger.
02:40I like you.
02:42Lovely.
