The single sharpest fact is that Adom Brands of the Multimedia Group Limited will host the ‘Democracy Is Not For Sale’ forum in Takoradi today, July 17, at the Takoradi Library.

And with participants including political actors, civil society organisations, youth groups, traditional leaders, and members of the public, the discussion is expected to be lively.
Organised by the JoyNews Impact Makers Foundation, the initiative is aimed at generating citizen-driven recommendations for a proposed Citizens’ Blueprint for Campaign Finance Reform.

The event is scheduled to start at 4:00 p.m. and is open to the public.
With the focus on promoting citizen participation, highlighting the effects of money politics, and building momentum for reforms, the forum is expected to be a significant event in the lead-up to Ghana’s elections.
