He noted that the forces will be responsible for ensuring the safety of voters, polling stations and election workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Somali police are ready and capable of ensuring the security of the elections. All necessary preparations have been completed,\u201d said Minister Fartaag, stressing that protecting the public is the top priority of the security agencies.<\/p>\n
