Madam Justina Owu­su-Banahene, the Bono Regional Minister has cau­tioned the youth against lawlessness and political violence, ahead of the election 2024. She said politicians would not in any way allow their children to engage in any sort of election violence, and urged the youth to be guarded against that and stay away from politicians who might lure or influence them to foment trouble, that might disturb national peace. The Regional Minister said the various law enforcement agencies were ever ready and would not tol­erate violent behaviours that would mar the beauty of the general election and plunged the nation into chaos. Madam Owusu-Banahene gave the caution in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on the side-lines of a forum to mark this year's International Youth Day (IYD) in Sunyani. It was on the theme 'accelerating green economy and adolescent wellbeing: promoting youth digital pathway for sustainable develop­ment." Instead of allowing themselves to be used as conduit to perpetrate political violence, the Regional Min­ister, advised the youth to channel their exuberances into productive activities, find something worth doing, and concentrate on building a better future.
