FUNDING FOR ELECTION CAMPAIGNS should be pulled from the Treasury and not the private sector.

This is the opinion of prominent businessman Ralph “Bizzy” Williams, who said that he has had to decline some of the newer political parties which asked him for financial support.

“I have been approached and I have said I am not interested. You can be a businessman and you can be a politician, but the two of them don’t mix,” Williams said.

“The established political parties have not approached me, but I think that campaign finance for re-election should be funded by the national Treasury, not by private individuals or private companies,” he said. (TG)
