The founder of Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom has criticized government's handling of the Agogo crisis.

Nomadic herdsmen and Agogo indigenes are at perpetual conflict, which has led to the loss of lives and property.

In a Facebook post Monday, Dr. Nduom questioned why the District Chief Executive (DCE) has told residents to protect themselves when they pay taxes to the state.

He is baffled, why the state is failing in its obligations to the citizenry per the social contract.  

Below is the facebook post.

 

Agogo DCE Says What? Are We Safe?

It has been reported in the media that the District Chief Executive for Asante Akim North Paul Kingsley Averu has asked residents to protect themselves against possible attacks by nomadic herdsmen.

It is instructive to know that at least four persons, three nomadic herdsmen and a local resident last week alone at Agogo in the Asante Aken North district.

Question is, what do we pay taxes for? And why do we elect people to manage the affairs of our country? What sort of chaos will we visit on ourselves if we all decided to buy arms to protect our families?

If I had the opportunities, we will halt this roaming cattle and other livestock practice. You want to rear cattle, put up a ranch and take care of them on your own property, feed them there.
