“I’ll Pay Delegates Every Month If Elected MP” — Captain Smart

Media personality Captain Smart has reportedly promised to pay delegates and constituency executives in the Gomoa West Constituency every month if he is elected as the Member of Parliament for the area.

According to the statement attributed to him, Captain Smart said grassroots members in Gomoa West were facing difficulties and needed greater support. He indicated that his proposed monthly payments would be aimed at addressing some of the challenges confronting party delegates and constituency executives.

“The grassroots in Gomoa West are really suffering. I’ll pay delegates and constituency executives every month if elected MP for the constituency,” he said.

The reported promise places the welfare of grassroots political activists at the centre of his message to voters. Delegates and constituency executives often play important roles in party organisation, mobilisation and election campaigns, particularly during internal contests and general elections.

Captain Smart’s proposal could generate discussions about the responsibilities of elected representatives towards party members and the wider electorate. While political parties rely on grassroots structures to organise campaigns and engage communities, an MP’s public responsibilities extend beyond party delegates and executives to include representing the interests of all constituents.

However, details of the proposed monthly payments, including the amounts involved, the source of funding and the conditions for receiving the money, have not been provided.

It is also unclear whether Captain Smart has outlined how the proposed arrangement would be implemented or how it would relate to his broader plans for development in Gomoa West.

The statement is likely to draw attention as residents and political stakeholders assess the commitments made by prospective parliamentary candidates. Voters may also consider how such a promise fits alongside other priorities, including employment, education, healthcare, infrastructure and support for local businesses.

The reported commitment remains a campaign promise, and its implementation would depend on Captain Smart being elected and providing further details about the proposal.
