President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
Some citizens say they prefer mediation to the president's directive to the two main political parties to meet and find ways to stop an upsurge in party militia activity.
According to them, it is not practical to have political violence perpetrators – the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) – sitting in a room and discussing ways to stop the criminal activities of the groups. militias aligned with their course.
President Akufo-Addo, in his speech on the state of the nation delivered to Parliament on Thursday, ordered the NPP and NDC to immediately convene a meeting to discuss the threat of party militias, otherwise it will be obliged to legislate against their activities.
However, citizens who appeared on Ghana Connect on Joy FM on Friday, February 22, want identified groups to be dissolved and members who participated in the perpetration of crimes to be arrested and prosecuted. This is the surest way to smother their activities in the bud, they argued.
Alternatively, a group led by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II or the Dagbon Ya-Na, Abukari Mahama II, should be formed to mediate between the two main parties that have ruled the country together for 26 years, to end Political violence.
