The Ashanti Regional Minister, Mr Simon Osei Mensah has cautioned that the government will not tolerate any form of intimidation and political thuggery against any person during the elections.
He stated categorically that anyone who misconducts him or herself before, during and after the December 7 election shall be dealt with according to the law.
Speaking Tuesday on Wontumi Morning Show on Wontumi TV/Radio, Mr Osei Mensah reminded Ghanaians that it is a crime for one to misconduct himself during the election period.
He told host of the Show, Oheneba Nana Asiedu that Ghana’s peace shall not be traded with violence saying violence does not only derail a nation’s peace but all the economic gains put in place by government.
“We need to prove to the world that Ghana is still an outstanding example of democracy,” he reiterated.
He assured the people of the Ashanti region that nothing untoward will occur during the elections because all mechanisms are in place to combat any unwelcomed situation especially at the areas cited as election violence hotspots.
