"If we continue to indulge in this culture of giving out money and demanding money as part of the electoral process, we are going to find ourselves in dangerous zones.
It is almost like we've put our democracy out there for sale," The Chairperson of the National Commission (NCCE), Kathleen Addy, has warned.
The Chairperson of the NCCE condemned strongly, monetization in Ghanaian politics, particularly linking it to illegal mining, known in the local parlance as galamsey, which has become one of the most pressing issues threatening the country's environment and future.
Speaking at a stakeholder engagement in Damongo in the Savannah Region, the NCCE Chair stressed that the pursuit of political power has driven some politicians to engage in unethical practices, including using illegal mining profits to finance their campaigns.
