People should not be bribed to register

I highly want to criticize leaders who have been encouraging people to register as voters by giving them money. It is a bad culture which they should stop perpetuating.

A citizen who loves his country does not have to be motivated by money or other goodies to carry out his responsibilities.

It is stated in the Constitution that every citizen has an obligation to register as a voter in order to vote for leaders of their choice.

Due to low voter registration, some leaders have resorted to bribery to encourage people to enlist.

Leaders from both sides of the political divide should come up with other mechanisms for encouraging people to register other than offering them money.
