President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has expressed concern over the ongoing conflict in Bawku.
He was worried the situation was costing the country several resources in managing the situation.
He lamented that the resources being used in managing the crisis in Bawku could have been allocated to other developmental projects.
The President in his State of the Nation Address, referred to the ongoing chieftaincy issues in the region as “troubling.”
“While we are spending time, money and energy on lives, keeping the country safe from external forces. I must add that it is a matter of great concern that we continue to have so many chieftaincy and land disputes around the country.
“I must make special mention of the troubles in Bawku. The tragedy is not only thriving in a dynamic town, it’s been reduced to a wasteland of destruction and mistrust. We’re spending money and energy that would have been better spent on developing the needs of Bawku. Providing security to keep brothers and sisters from killing each other.”
