Mr William Nyarko, the Executive Director of the Africa Center for International Law and Accountability, says Ghana must establish a campaign financing framework to regulate campaign contributions and spending.
He said this would ensure transparency and accountability, prevent corruption and undue influence, level the playing field, enhance voter confidence, ensure that elected representatives truly represent the will of the people, and strengthen the country's democratic institutions.
The Executive Director was speaking at a national forum on the effects of the monetisation of elections on the outcome of Ghana's elections and advocating for meaningful reforms in Ghana's campaign financing system.
It was organised by the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition, Ghana Integrity Initiative, and the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development, with support from USAID through the International Foundation for Electoral Systems.
