Good, will take out Akua Donkor & Konadu The strong parties should be able to raise funds to pay for the amount, this will eliminate the other candidates like Akua Donkor and Konadu unless they really want to throw their money away.

Re: BUT YOUR ASHANTI WIFE DID That money stays with the party concerned! Who accounts for the 100,000 and 10,000? The EC is already financed by the taxpayer. Will Jean Mensah funnel this money to Akufo Addo and the NPP through the backdoor?

Why? I would like to know what modalities EC uses to arrive at this exorbitant filing fees. As for me I think it is too much. Why should Nana or mahama pay such an amount. EC please clarify for all of us to learn something now.

Too high filing fee No wonder politicians steal and chop our money. If the EC charges such high fees, what do you expect the candidates who win to do? They will take back such fee and any monies they pay for votes.

THAT'S THE BEGINNING OF CORRUPTION If a candidate pays this heavy amount to stand for the elections, the first thing they will do after winning is to find a way to get that money back. And that begins the stealing spree. What a country is Ghana. Are our leader
