The Ombudsman Commission is calling on all eligible voters to exercise caution when casting their votes in the 2022 National Election.
From recorded statistics, the Ombudsman Commission said that good moral ethical standards in leaders are a real problem in the country today, therefore, there's a need to elect good leaders in the upcoming election.

With negative impact stories hitting the headlines every day, the Ombudsman Commission is urging eligible voters to consider the qualities of the candidate of their choices.
Some major qualities outlined in the Leadership Code in the Constitution includes, selflessness and the ability to deliver services, Integrity, Honesty, Fairness and Accountability, among others.
