In response to escalating tensions between the Mo and Wangara tribes in the Kintampo North municipality, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has called for a briefing from the Ministers of Defence and National Security
The summon requires their appearance before the Defence and Interior Committee on Thursday morning. The aim is to gain insights into the government’s measures to prevent a potential clash and maintain peace in the region.
Joseph Kwame Kumah, the Member of Parliament representing the affected area, highlighted the heightened tensions arising from the Mo tribe’s request to perform rituals during November and December.
This timeframe coincides with the annual Klubi festival of the Wangara community, adding complexity to the situation. The Speaker, responding to calls for a ceasefire by MP Kumah, emphasized the immediate need for the government to intervene and ensure peaceful coexistence between the two tribes.
The parliamentary inquiry underscores the significance of addressing intertribal tensions and preventing any potential conflicts. By convening the Defence and Interior Committee, the Speaker aims to gather information on the specific actions taken by the government to forestall a clash and maintain stability in the Kintampo North municipality.
The focus is on fostering a peaceful environment amid cultural and ritual differences, thereby promoting harmony within the diverse communities involved.
