New draft bill aims at scrutinizing donations by philanthropists

Knesset Member Ran Cohen will bring before the Knesset the "Gaydamak bill," which stipulates that if a Knesset candidate donates more than one million shekels during the four years prior to the elections, the sum will be considered as part of his campaign spending.

 

Cohen said that when a philanthropist turns into a political candidate, his donations can potentially be used for buying votes, and should therefore be placed under scrutiny. (Ilan Marciano)
