According to him, suggestions that the distribution of Outboard motors with the effigies of the president to fishermen is tantamount to vote buying is untenable. Speaking on Morning Starr on Monday, Mr. Adams who is also NDC’s 2016 campaign coordinator explained that the sharing of the said equipment are part of government’s policy and programmes that have been captured in the budget. “I don’t think so,” said Mr. Adams stating that the NPP is just being frightened by the government’s achievements “therefore, they will describe it as voting buying” but he sees it more as a policy. The acting General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu speaking on the same programme said in principle there is nothing wrong with the government aiding the activities of fishermen by providing them Outboard motors as part of its policies.
