CAPO to assist EC in keeping security for next election
March 21, 2014 6:38 pm
The Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) said Friday it was ready to assist the Election Commission in strengthening security for the next election.
However, CAPO will also pursue legal cases against people who obstructed the February 2 election despite the fact it was nullified, as they had already broken the law.
Tarit Pengdith, CAPO secretary and chief of the Department of Special Investigation, said the EC did not ask CAPO to beef up security during the February 2 election, and CAPO felt it could not just act alone in providing additional security as it was the EC's direct duty to organise the poll. He hoped that the EC would ask CAPO to help maintain law and order in the next ballot. The centre is willing to consult with the EC on the matter, he said.
