House Seeking to Cap Spending in Presidential Poll
The House of Representatives is mulling an amendment to the 2008 Presidential Election Law that would limit the amount of campaign spending by candidates.
Anna Mu’awanah, a deputy chairwoman of the House Legislation Body, said on Wednesday that it was important to cap campaign spending so that candidates would focus more on their programs rather than on boosting their image.
“It should be limited so that the public can be better informed about their political choices,” she said.
