The Campaign Regulation prohibited political appointees and public officials from participating in campaigning during their official functions, but was frequently violated. Either the law needs to be amended to allow such people to campaign or the law should distinguish among positions of different levels or their compliance with the law needs to be made clear (for example, by providing evidence to the CNE of their being on leave and acting outside official functions).
