Addressing concerns about campaign donations and possible conflicts of interest, Dr Ayine argued that financial support from individuals does not compromise his integrity.
“It doesn’t compromise me. Let me say this, all the political parties receive donations, either in cash or kind from companies, from individuals, and so on. I am no exception,” he remarked.
Dr Ayine also spoke about the financial impact of grassroots politics, noting that campaign activities often require direct support for constituents, especially during rallies.

“Almost every rally, we give people small amounts, like GH¢20,000 for water or transport. If you don’t have the money, you might have the intellect, but politics requires resources,” he explained.
