Asantehene: Let’s Boldly Deal with Lawlessness to Avert Violence in 2020

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has warned of imminent political disturbances in the 2020 general elections if existing laws are not enforced to deal with vigilantism and other related crimes.

He has therefore admonished national leaders to adopt bold and honest attitudes to speak against issues that have the tendency of affecting the peace and stability of the country.

The Asantehene raise these concerns when a delegation from the National Peace Council paid a courtesy call on him at the Manhyia Palace.

He bemoaned the fact that unhealthy politics has taken over the Ghanaian society and citizens have been divided along political lines.

Asantehene who did not mince words said political parties must take the blame for the increasing menace of vigilantism in Ghana’s political landscape.

He indicated that anyone who has the intention to commit crime joins a political party so they can hide under the parties to perpetrate such crimes.

He expressed concerns over why existing laws that frown on vigilantism and other related crimes are not enforced and discussions were still ongoing to make new laws to deal with the menace.
