A
security
guard
at
the
University
of
Ghana,
Legon,
has
raised
concerns
about
a
recent
gesture
by
Hon.
Lydia
Seyram
Alhassan,
Member
of
Parliament
for
Ayawaso
West
Wuogon,
in
the
lead-up
to
elections.
The
MP
reportedly
distributed
5kg
bags
of
rice
and
bottles
of
cooking
oil
to
some
constituents.
While
acknowledging
the
gift,
the
guard
questioned
the
motive
behind
it,
noting
that
similar
offerings
had
been
made
before
previous
elections
but
no
tangible
support
had
been
provided
over
the
years.

“These
items
cannot
buy
my
vote,”
he
firmly
stated,
highlighting
the
need
for
sustainable
development
over
temporary
election-driven
incentives.
This
comes
amidst
growing
discussions
about
vote-buying
and
the
importance
of
fostering
transparency
and
accountability
in
electoral
processes.
