The chiefs said the military presence is causing fear and panic among residents and the seeming tension in the Volta Region over the deployment of some military men.
The chiefs said that has ignited another form of a tribal row.
According to the chiefs, this year’s “election is not a do and die affair” and charged the military to stop intimidating the residents in the Volta Region.
Vice President of the Volta Regional House of Chiefs Torgbega Dekle Patamia, in an interview on Accra-based Starr FM, said “Election is not a do and die affair. After all, it comes every four years. We should stop intimidating our people so they live their normal lives. We have done registration, election and we have not seen this sort of military and their hardware. Are we at war? We had a meeting with the National Security Minister and as usual, what he said was, we’ll look into it. But nothing has been done.”
According to Joyce Opoku Boateng, the rights of LGBT people must be respected.
“I don’t think it will be right for anyone to invade their office and attack them because they have not met to engage in any sexual activities. Every human being when you’re born has a fundamental right that no one can take away from you. But we have our norms and culture that frown upon certain things,” she said.
In an interview on Accra-based Starr FM, she said “If you are caught in the act of having unnatural carnal practice then that’s criminal but when someone expresses his/herself, that’s not criminal because the law is not against that. Assuming someone dresses like a female and you go and beat up the person, it’s a clear case of assault.”
