Majority Of National Security Resources Used To Settle Chieftaincy Disputes - Akuffo Addo

President Nana Akufo-Addo has lamented the use of a huge chunk of state resources in settling of Chieftaincy disputes. Nana Akufo-Addo expressed concern about the impact of such expenditure on national development. He therefore charged all the stakeholders to ensure that these disputes are eliminated or dealt with once and for

all. Cheiftaincy disputes also take majority of National Security resources. We all know what is happening in many parts of the country. We must all work hard to end some of these disputes. Several chieftaincy disputes across the country have also led to violent clashes which have resulted in either the death or injury to persons

involved. Groups such as the Volta House of Chiefs have been assisting the government’s efforts at reducing the chieftaincy disputes by embarking on the sensitisation programmes in some regions. President Akufo Addo has also said that the government is seeking an increment in the number of judicial committees and regional house

sittings to also hasten the adjudication of outstanding disputes. He said this will reduce number of chieftaincy disputes in the country and also bring about peace and development.
