The Minority Leader in Parliament, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson is calling on the police to with immediate effect investigate the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for engaging in vote buying in the ongoing Assin North by-election.
According to him, electorates are being given between GH¢200 and GH¢300 before they go and vote or after they have voted.
“I don’t understand why the NPP would impoverish the people and come and give them money (on election day). It is so sad, it is so shameful and we are asking the police to immediately ensure that within a 5-kilometre radius, nobody is allowed to be sharing money of this magnitude.”
“I am shocked with what I have seen here. Our democracy is dying, NPP is killing our democracy, they have changed it to moneycracy . . . I have seen 10 different houses where they are sharing the money. I can take you there, they are sharing GH¢200 and GH¢300,” he said in an interview with media.
Adding that, “It is a shame, GH¢200, GH¢300 per person. I wonder where this money is coming from. Is this not state money, it is only from state money that you can be able to share money in this magnitude.”

Anyway Ato you don’t share money, you give out money. Please check your grammar.
This can also be for transportation as Mahama did. You guys kept quiet when Mahama gave every delegate 40 cedis on an Election Day for him to win. This is how far we all have pushed our elections to. Soon drug Lords will take over our politics.
