The Upper East Regional Minister, Donatus Akamugri Atanga, has made it clear that the prolonged Bawku conflict was still active before the (NDC) assumed power, contrary to claims suggesting otherwise.
According to him, the NDC government under President took over the conflict in its active phase and has since been working to bring it under control. "When the NDC came to power, the Bawku conflict was not dormant.
It was still in an active mood, and the president and his government have been trying their best to bring it down," the minister explained.
He said, in an interview on Adom FM's morning show Dwaso Nsem, that the situation was not escalating under Mahama's administration, as some people have suggested.
