Treat #FixTheCountry petition on Kaaka serious- Prof. Anning to IGP
Director of Academic Affairs at Kofi Annan International Peace Keeping Training Centre (KAIPC) Prof. Kwesi Anning has urged IGP James Boanu to treat a petition brought to his attention by #FixTheCountry Campaigners.
The campaigners have already petitioned following the murder of Kaaka, a strong member of the campaigners.
Speaking on Kaaka’s murder, Convener of #FixTheCountry, and University of Cambridge Researcher Oliver Barker-Vormawor said “We presented our letter to the police and we’re demanding his resignation”
Contributing to the debate, Prof. Anning said “I hope that somebody will read your petition to the IGP and act on it”.
Prof. Anning noted that “People of Ejura wanted for empathy. Something must be done to reduce the angry of Ejura residents because pain, frustrations and emotions are rising”.
There is a good reason why you should support the African Editors. Not everyone can afford to pay for news right now. That is why we keep our journalism open for everyone to read, including in Ghana. If this is you, please continue to read for free. But if you are able to, then there are three good reasons to support us today.
1. Our quality, journalism is a scrutinising force at a time when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more.
2. We are independent and have no billionaire owner pulling the strings, so your money directly powers our reporting.
3. It doesn’t cost much, and takes less time than it took to read this message.
Help power the African Editors' journalism for the years to come, whether with a small sum or a larger one. If you can, please support us on a monthly basis from just 1 Ghana Cedi through mobile money number: 0599896099/ +23359989609 and you can be rest assured that you’re making a big impact every single month in support of open, independent journalism.
