Campaigns and money politics

Campaigns and money politics

From Warta Kota

In the election campaign period, the practice of money
politics is rife. Some people, who have taken part in the
election campaign, said that they received money for their
participation.

Legislative candidates also resort to money politics in
mobilizing support.

For the common people, the election campaign is a means to
earn additional income. They receive the money but do not promise
to vote for the relevant party.

Our people are smart now. They know that during the election
campaign a lot of empty promises are made. Legislators usually
forget their constituents once they get elected and will be busy
amassing wealth.
