: Bridget Otoo, a renowned journalist, has raised a thought-provoking question about the electoral process in Ghana.
She observed that security agents are freely accepting food, which has sparked concerns about the fairness of the electoral process.
Otoo's question highlights the apparent double standard in Ghana's electoral process. While security agents are allowed to accept food, market women are expected to reject gifts such as a 5kg bag of rice.
This raises questions about the consistency and fairness of the electoral rules. If security agents can accept food, why can't market women accept gifts?
Otoo's comment has sparked a debate about the need for clear and consistent electoral rules. It also highlights the importance of ensuring that all stakeholders in the electoral process are treated fairly and equally.
Ultimately, Otoo's question challenges Ghanaians to think critically about the electoral process and to demand fairness, transparency, and accountability from all stakeholders involved.
