State Must Meet Bawku 'Fighters' With 'Fire' . . . "Total Lawlessness & Recklessness" - Pratt on Chieftaincy Conflict
Managing Editor of the Insight Newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has said government must be serious in tackling the "total lawlessness and recklessness" of the youth in Bawku in their longstanding Chieftaincy conflict.
"Some of these disputes doesn't make sense . . . what is that? When you say they say tradition, as if tradition is a permanent feature of life . . . it is so annoying," he told Kwami Sefa Kayi during a discussion on Peace FM's 'kokrokoo' programme.
"We deal with them in their own terms . . . we can't have this forever, everyday people are dying and getting injured, it must come to an end. That is how state power is supposed to be used to settle matters once and for all . . ." he said in response to how to deal with the Bawku situation.
According to him such crime perpetrators must be charged with murder when they commit such atrocities.
"I don't understand this . . . If we charge some of these people for murder may be we will be a little relieved," he added.
