A number of persons were arraigned before the Maroodi Jeh regional court in Hargeisa for illegal possiecion of 150 identification and voters cards.

The alleged accused persons were accused of wrongfully conning rural residents of their identification and voter cards with a promise of handing them food rations.

The accused persons were planning to use the voters card in the upcoming elections for rigging the outcome.

The court should issue tough penalties for such heinous crimes meant to derail the Somaliland democratization process.
