The announcement during the elections campaign of major spending programmes and the inauguration of strategically important infrastructure projects, such as ones for the distribution of electricity for the first time to rural populations, can only be construed as an inappropriate attempt by the government to use the advantages of incumbency to influence the outcome of the election. It is highly recommended that such practices be outlawed during the campaign period.
