The Member of Parliament (MP) for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga, has asked stakeholders including the youth on both sides to the Bawku conflict, to respect the sanctity of life.
He also urged the youth to appreciate the presence of the military to protect lives and property.
Making a statement in Parliament, he called on the military to realize that they are dealing with human lives which they have a duty, first and foremost, to protect even in very trying circumstances.
Minister of Defence, Dominic Nitiwul, hoped the MPs will use their influence to bring peace to Bawku.
He said the happenings there border purely on criminal grounds and not chieftaincy.
First Deputy Speaker, Joseph Osei Owusu, advised the MPs against politicizing the security situation in Bawku, saying the state agencies must be supported in their peace building efforts.
