It is my responsibility to think of you and your children\u2019s future. It is insulting to give money to anyone. The youth need education to better their lives. It is inappropriate to give GH\u00a2200, GH\u00a2500 and even GH\u00a21000 to individuals. These monies will not solve their problems,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Muntaka also urged his political party members, particularly in the Zongo communities, to be cautious and responsible in their activities as the general elections approach.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed the need for unity and peaceful engagement to ensure a successful election process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet us seek for peace during this year\u2019s election in our Zongo Communities. Insults, and skirmishes all come from Zongo communities. It would have been important for both the NDC and NP to process what the Zongo communities have gained from our democracy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would have appreciated the consequences of our actions. Parties come to our Zongo communities to recruit our members for their various activities. Politicians will only visit you, once after any bad incident,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Bright Yeboah<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"google-anno-t\">Citi Newsroom<\/span>\u00a0channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p><em style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament and Parliamentary Candidate for Asawase, Muntaka Mohammed Mubarak, has stated that he will never distribute money to his constituents in exchange for votes.
