Mahama Ayariga, Member of Parliament for Bawku Central and Majority Leader, has criticized the recent fight between youth groups and security forces in Bawku. He expressed deep concern over the reported loss of lives and injuries resulting from the disturbances, which also saw his private residence vandalized in what he described as an attempted arson attack.
“I understand the anger and frustration of the youth about the pace of the resolution of the situation in Bawku and Kusaug and the misconduct of some misguided law enforcement officers.
“The NDC government remains committed to its promise to ensure justice and lasting peace. My condolences to the bereaved and sympathies to the injured.”
Mr. Ayariga further emphasized the importance of adhering to Ghana’s legal and constitutional frameworks to settle the longstanding dispute in Bawku. “I want to assure the people of Bawku and Kusaug, whom I represent, that I remain resolute and committed to a lasting resolution of the matter according to Ghana’s well-established laws and judicial decisions, which must ultimately be respected and enforced.”
