The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress, Johnson Asiedu Nketsia, has expressed concern over Ghana’s democratic future.
On Joy News Newsfile, Asiedu Nketsia responded to a report from the CDD saying that nine people were involved in criminal activities such as financially supporting political parties’ campaigns.
According to Asiedu Nketsia, this has always been the case. He went on to say that when politicians need money, these people approach them, and out of desperation, they accept the money without asking where the money came from. After the elections, they typically identify the source of income.
“In every passing election, the system becomes more monetized. That is why I am scared that unless we as a country find a way of pulling the break, our democracy will be heading towards doom.”, he added.
