He stressed on the importance of pursuing the vote-buying process, especially in the Third Constituency which happens in a crude manner, and this necessitates the interference of the Ministry of Interior to put an end to this phenomenon and prosecute everyone who contributes to its spread and hold accountable those who accept bribe, especially since this phenomenon has a negative effect on the Kuwaiti democracy.
