I don’t see anything wrong with paying delegates to facilitate their movement

The 1st Deputy Speaker of Parliament and Member of Parliament for Bekwai, Joseph Osei-Owusu, has affirmed that some delegates of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) were paid money during the party’s presidential primaries.

Speaking in a Metro TV interview, on November 10, 2023, Joseph Osei-Owusu, also known as Joe Wise, said that even though he did not receive any of such monies, there is nothing wrong with it being given to delegates.

He explained that because some of the delegates live very far from the voting centres, it is important that they are given something to facilitate their transportation.

“… I’m a delegate, nobody gave me money. It is true that some were given money. Because my constituency has 116 towns and villages. Some come as far as 30 kilometres away.

“Is it fair to ask him to bring his own means of transport to vote and go back? So, yes, some do get paid money to facilitate their movement back from the voting centres.

“Because the voting centre was at Bekwei, somebody is coming from Ntiraku, somebody is coming from Amanshia, somebody is coming from beyond Sanfi, sometimes they have to change vehicles once or twice. So, I don’t see anything wrong at all with facilitating the movement of these people to come and vote and go back,’’ he said.
