Accept money from politicians - Greenstreet

05:43 - 21 October 2016

Ivor Greenstreet urged electorates to 'punish' politicians who give them money by accepting their 'gifts' and voting against them.

The 2016 Presidential Candidate of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Ivor Kobina Greenstreet, has urged Ghanaians to accept any form of financial incentive given them by politicians but desist from voting for them.

Greenstreet was addressing a gathering in the Central Region as part of his campaign tour to the region.

he said.

In August this year, the Center for Democratic Development (CDD) in a survey revealed that National Democratic Congress (NDC) topped the list of vote-buying by 51 percent. The New Patriotic Party (NPP) was second with 32 percent. The CPP and PPP both recorded 4 percent each.

The gifts range from money, cars, clothes, outboard motors, farming equipment among others. These are given to the electorates by the political parties to influence their voting pattern.

Greenstreet, asked electorates to vote for the CPP since the NDC and NPP who have governed the country for the past 24 years have done nothing to develop the living conditions of Ghanaians.

he argued.
