A former Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports under the erstwhile NDC administration, Joseph Yamin says the use of money in politics has reached a crescendo to the extent that children now aspire to be delegates.
Reports indicate that delegates at the just-held regional elections of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) became rich overnight after monies paid by aspirants.
Some received ghc1000 among other items. Even though it has been denied, there were also reports that Chairman Wontumi who was re-elected as Ashanti Regional Chairman spent 1 trillion during the election.
Yamin who was also a former Deputy Ashanti Regional Minister speaking on UTV's Adekye Nsroma said: "under NDC if you ask a child what do you want to become in future, they will mention doctor, lawyer…Now every child wants to be a delegate under NPP; not just any delegate, NPP delegate so the Education Ministry might have to change their course and introduce how to become a delegate and I’m sure the lecture rooms will be filled…they are destroying the fiber of this country"

My friend the money your NDC voted to use to dethroned Wontumi in the Ashanti region alone is Gch 10 million and you Joseph Yamin, Brogya Genfi,Afrifa Yamoh Ponko pocketed Gch 600,000. Very soon your party is going to summons you and your cohorts to the party headquarters and question you why you said you can use such money to make Wontumi loose but you failed.
Did the NDC also pay to delegates. who started this paying exer. do you remember the NDC congress at cape coast in 1992 or so. Did the NDC pay or not . do you remember or you were a kid by then
