Baba Jamal speaks on gifting tvs
On his part, Baba Jamal said he does not see what he did as vote-buying since he often gifts the constituents items. According to Baba Jamal he has done a lot of benevolent acts for the constituents in the past.
"If you give television set to your people, what is wrong with it. Is this the first time I am giving things to people. Those of you who know me know that I give at every Christmas, every occasion. I have put down GHC2.5 million to give free loans to people. If someone gives you a gift, you can take it but allowing that gift to influence your vote is wrong."
