Former President John Dramani Mahama, flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2024 Election, has said that should he win the polls and form the next government, would investigate and bring perpetrators of the Techiman South constituency shooting incident to book.He was referring to the shooting incident that claimed three precious lives during the 2020 parliamentary election in the constituency in the Bono East Region.Addressing a mammoth rally of party supporters and members in Techiman as part of his campaign visit to the Bono East Region, John Mahama said he still sympathises with the bereaved families, saying justice must be meted out to the perpetrators.Mr Mahama said his government would also honour the victims of the shooting incident, saying an inquiry committee would be set up to probe the incident. "We have to punish the perpetrators to serve as deterrent to like-minded others who might try to disrupt the security of the nation."Describing the incident as unfortunate, the former president gave the assurance that his government would also provide adequate compensation to the bereaved families who lost their relatives.He reaffirmed his government's commitment to setting up public universities and regional hospitals in all the six newly created regions, scrapping the betting tax and the e-levy, and ending the double-track system in the senior high schools.Mr Mahama called on party members and supporters to guard against 'skirt and blouse" voting when they go to the polls on December 7, and advised them to build a formidable front in the electioneering.
