Govt must take bold step in ending Bawku conflict – Ejura-Sekyedumase MP

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Ejura-Sekyedumase and a member of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, Mohammed Bawah Braimah, has criticised the current administration for failing to take a bold step in finding a lasting solution to the Bawku conflict.

He said Ghana’s security is under a significant threat if the government cannot manage the longstanding conflict in Bawku, which is just a portion of the nation.

He described the prolonged conflict as unfortunate, indicating that the tribes at the centre of the disagreement have lived together for a long time and have been bonded by inter-marriage.

The Ejura-Sekyedumase MP maintained that the conflict continues to affect all aspects of life in the area, and the continuous loss of innocent lives must be a concern for persons in authority.

He further said, “I believe that if the NPP Government had taken a bold step and wanted the conflict to end, this conflict would have ended

He indicated that the government has been entrusted with the state security apparatus, and ending the conflict in Bawku should not be a difficult task.

He called on the government to take pragmatic measures to find a lasting solution to the conflict to end the loss of innocent lives and the destruction of properties.
