Ningo Prampram lawmaker Samuel Nartey George (Sam George) has said that the National Peace Council should be disbanded after they admitted that they had not lived up to expectations. Sam George says if institutions fail, they are closed down, therefore the Peace Council which he said failed to do its job leading to the killing of 8 people in 2020, then should be disbanded.
"If the peace council cannot stop violence they are of no use, they should be disbanded. When institutions fail you disband them," he said on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday, August 24. The National Peace Council (NC) has said that there is a limit to which their powers can be exercised in relation to addressing electoral violence in Ghana. The Executive Secretary of the National Peace Council (NPC) George Amoh admitted that the Council may not have lived up to expectations but they can't be blamed for the violence that occurred in the 2020 elections.
"The expectations are too much, we do not have the capacity to meet all those demands of us," he said on the Key Points on TV3 on Saturday, August 24.
