ACP Wilson warns politicians against election gifts, calls practice a ‘crime scene’
The “Democracy Is Not For Sale” forum series, organised by the JoyNews Impact Makers Foundation, has brought together political actors, civil society organisations, legal experts and citizens to discuss concerns surrounding vote buying and the monetisation of politics.
A pre-forum survey conducted by JoyNews ahead of the Volta Regional edition showed that many respondents were aware of vote buying, with some indicating that they had witnessed politicians or their agents offering money and other incentives to influence electoral choices.
ACP Brown Mercy Wilson, Head of Legal and Prosecution for the Volta Region and Head of the Police Ladies Chapter in the region, made the comments at the Volta Regional edition of JoyNews’ “Democracy Is Not For Sale” forum organised by the JoyNews Impact Makers Foundation.
