Clearer regulation and cataloguing of state resources during an election period, including vehicles or the publicly funded maize programme, would ensure they are not used for campaign purposes. Other measures, including a moratorium on ceremonial openings of public works by the presidential office and public officials for the period of the official campaign, would ensure a separation between the resources attached to public office and campaign activities. The prohibition on the use of state resources should be reflected in the Electoral Act and the exclusion from the prohibition for the president and vice-president should be narrowed.
