In the situation like ours where regulations around money in politics are either non-existent, weak or poorly enforced, we stand the risk of attracting very dark and bad money into the judicial system,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>She, therefore, asked Ghanaians to be interested in how politics were financed in order not to sell their vote and compromise on their conscience.<\/p>\n<p>She noted that though the Commission was mandated by law to educate citizens on their responsibilities among others, civic education is a shared responsibility which required all to work together to unite and consolidate the gains towards progressively implementing the principles and laws enshrined in the constitution.<\/p>\n<p>Also present at the year-long celebration on the theme \u201cTogether We Can Build Ghana, So Get Involved\u201d were representatives from the National Peace Council, Christian Council of Ghana, Catholic Bishops Conference, the Church of Pentecost, Office of the National Chief Imam, National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) among several others.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Ebenezer K.
