Monrovia - As a way of showing strength in terms of preparation, some political parties are displaying fleet of vehicles, motorbikes and creating new support groups while implementing projects across the country. “This massive show of spending power, despite the poor state of the Liberian economy, coupled with a limited due-paying culture of supporters and a partisan of political parties raises many questions.”Yeakula questioned whether political parties spending are in line with the National Elections Commission guidelines. “Are political parties and individuals complying with the National Elections Commission (NEC) Campaign Finance Regulations? The constitution provides that the National Elections Commission regulates the financial activities of political parties and candidates. “Political parties and candidates proactively inform the public about their finances for increased transparency and accountability and commitment to good governance and integrity."
