Ace peace-walker, Isaac Annan, popularly known as “Kak Dee”, has rallied the nation to reject violence as it edged towards general election.

He reminded everybody to move away from political intolerance, mischief and   aggressive rhetoric.

Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Kumasi during a “peace campaign” he said the election should be about message and not insinuations, division and insults.

Mr. Annan began his nation-wide walk in June, and had already carried his peace message to the Eastern, Volta, Upper East, Upper West, Northern and Brong-Ahafo Regions.       

He said it was important not to take the peace of the society for granted, and asked that all accepted to work together to ensure that Ghana remained united, stable and peaceful.

He said he found it deeply disturbing inflammatory pronouncements and personality attacks, dominating radio political discussions, and said that was not the right way to go.

It was unhelpful to the growth of the country’s multi-party democracy, he added.

Mr. Annan appealed to the security agencies to act more professionally and be even-handed in the enforcement of the law.

The Electoral Commission (EC) on its part, should be transparent to assure everybody of clean, fair and credible election.

In Kumasi, for about five hours, he interacted with traders, youth groups and the general public, encouraging them to be responsible in their conduct.
