The electorate have been advised to turn away any politician who would ask them to take an oath in exchange of money to vote for a particular party. Mr Aquinas Tawiah Quansah, NDC parliamentary candidate for the Mfantseman West gave the advice at a meeting with drivers at Mankessim. He pointed out that taking oaths to vote for a party in exchange of gifts is undemocratic because it does not allow the electorate to make informed choices. “By so doing, you sell your conscience and your democratic right,” Mr Quansah stated. Mr Quansah assured the people of the constituency that he would lead a clean and peaceful campaign in the run-up to the December elections and would also ensure that his followers comported themselves during the elections. He said he would not use his position as MP when elected, to impose projects on the people. “Any project initiated will be done in consultation with chiefs, opinion leaders and the general public. “I will make the people to take charge of their own affairs,” he assured. Mr Quansah said he would initiate the establishment of Social Security Fund for drivers to enable them to enjoy decent living at the time of old age. He explained that vehicle owners would be made to contribute towards the fund for their drivers. Mr Quansah said he would pursue job creation for the youth, when elected. Mr Oscar Kweku Appiah, Chairman of the Number Three branch of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union appealed to the government to reduce tax on the importation of spare parts. He appealed to the Chief Justice and the Minister for Justice and Attorney-General to ensure that drivers were given a fair trial at the courts. Source: GNA
