Vote buying can’t be stopped without punishing bribe-takers – George Ashilevi

" Beyond enforcement, the anti-corruption advocate said the need for stronger civic education to change public attitudes towards vote buying.

Mr Ashilevi called on the government to adequately resource the NCCE, arguing that sustained public education is essential to reducing vote buying and protecting Ghana's democracy.

Drawing on his experience as a former Regional Director and Director of Public and Corporate Affairs at the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), he said the institution has the capacity to educate citizens across the country but lacks the resources to do so effectively.
