A member of the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) communication team and private legal practitioner, Kingsley Amoakwa-Boadu, has stated that the accusation of the NPP sharing marijuana (wee) to bribe voters in the just-ended Ejisu by-election is merely based on hearsay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said the onus is on the Police to investigate the allegations and bring out the individuals behind such illegal activity.<\/p>\n

Footages circulating on the internet showed some residents alleging that officials of the NPP gave them the narcotic substances to vote for the party\u2019s candidate, Kwabena Boateng<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, the NPP communicator speaking on The Key Points<\/strong> on Saturday bemoaned the increasing level of monetisation in the country\u2019s body politic.<\/p>\n

He further noted that it is incumbent on the security bodies to investigate the allegations further to bring out the individuals behind such acts, stressing that vote-buying is against the electoral laws of the country.<\/p>\n

According to him, any individual can easily display any amount of money on camera to say a politician gave it to him\/her to vote in a certain direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is easy for anyone to come and stand in front of a camera and hold money and I was given this\u2026it is incumbent on the police to get to these with the available evidence, and let them lead them to who gave them money for actions to be taken.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am in full support of that\u201d, he emphasised, arguing, \u201cBecause it shouldn\u2019t be that you go and find money before you can win an election when you can avail yourself and do good in society.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, responding to comments made by Martin Kpebu on the alleged sharing of money to influence voters in the by-election, Amoakwa-Boadu noted, \u201cWe are all concerned about monetisation of our electoral process\u2026but when you\u2019re making some allegations let them be founded on evidence, not hearsay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communications Officer of the NDC, expressed shock about the glaring monetisation that characterised the Ejisu by-election.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat broke me down as a young man was the level of desperation I saw the NPP display at Ejisu, where they went to that shameful extent of distributing narcotic substances, illegal, illicit substances like marijuana, which can make people mad and cause people to suffer from chronic ailments,\u201d he stressed, adding, \u201cIt is totally unacceptable, irresponsible and reprehensible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ejisu by-election result is tantamount to defeat for the NPP \u2013 Sammy Gyamfi<\/a><\/p>\n\n

He added that it is \u201cthe lowest point in our country,\u201d indicating that \u201cthey are destroying the future of this country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Mr. Gyamfi also criticised the NPP for being silent on the matter and not issuing a statement to\u00a0condemn it.<\/p>\n
