According to him, the Corps normally supports INEC during elections in terms of crowd control and management of the election process.
“We also participate in training drivers of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and other unions who are usually engaged by INEC to work for them.
“We train them and certify their vehicles before they can move the vehicles or even participate in the election.
“All these should be expected from us as we have two committees in INEC. We have the standing committee and the logistics committee and our officers are part of the process.
“We have vehicles that we will deploy so that materials can get to the polling booths on time and we also have men that will man the polling booths,” he said.
