Former Member of Parliament for the Ayensuano constituency, Samuel Ayeh-Paye, has expressed shock after a villager refused to accept GHC50 meant to encourage him to vote in the just-ended elections.
Speaking in an interview with Peace FM, Ayeh-Paye recounted how he offered the money as a token for water, hoping it would persuade the individual to participate in the electoral process.
However, to his surprise, the person declined, insisting he would not cast his vote. "I offered them the money as a token for water so they could go and vote, but they rejected it.
It's historic for me that I tried giving someone GHC50 to push the person to go and vote, and the person rejected it, saying he won't vote.
