‘Voters’ roll too expensive’

KADOMA – Human rights lawyer Jeremiah Bamu has described the $30 000 demanded by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) for production of a full copy of the voters’ roll as too prohibitive.

Bamu made the remarks during a Zimbabwe Election Support Network (Zesn)-organised media workshop in Kadoma last Thursday.

Zec is charging $15 for a copy of a ward-based voters’ roll which translates to $29 370 for all the country’s 1 958 wards.
