Monetisation in Ghana Electoral processes Alarming-Save Ghana Movement

*JUST NOW*

*MONETISATION IN GHANA ELECTORAL PROCESSES ALARMING – SAVE GHANA MOVEMENT*

The Save Ghana movement have decried the alarming rate of vote buying and monetization creeping into the electoral process.

The Movement in a press conference today called for radical changes within political parties and politicians to eliminate corruption from the way and manner political party flag-bearers, parliamentary candidates, as well as national, regional and constituency executives are elected.

Leader of the Save Ghana movement, Robert Ansah Andzie bemoaned the material and financial demands from their constituents that have become so high such that if not checked, many good politicians will shy away from becoming MPs and making the House the preserve of high bidders. Winners therefore find ways and means to recoup their monies spent during election campaigns to their financiers at the detriment of Parliament and the country's fragile economy.

This, according to the Movement is a problem that has also accounted for the dominance of the political space by only two parties: the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Making reference to the previous primaries including the Kumawu by-elections by both two parties, Conveners of Save Ghana Movement bemoaned the rate of vote buying and monetization creeping into our electoral processes.

The group has therefore cautioned against any attempt to monetize the Assin North by-election and future elections.

The Non partisan anti- corruption think thank is calling for immediate steps to prevent corruption through election monetization in our election processes.
