We do not want people sitting around the grog bowl after the elections saying well did you know that when they went on registering people they do not do it properly or did you know that somebody went and voted twice .We do not want any of this issues in the 2014 elections because it undermines the credibility of whichever government is elected.

He also advised the trainers on the need for voters to be treated alike.
