Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga is making a desperate appeal to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, to expedite action on the Bawku peace talks, as tensions in the conflict-torn enclave continue to claim lives.
At least six persons have been killed in Bawku, allegedly by military operatives conducting an operation in the area.
Speaking at a news conference in Parliament, the Majority Leader called on the Asantehene to help restore calm.
"We're appealing to him to expedite action. We know it's a complicated matter, but we all have confidence in him and his ability to bring an end to the situation. The earlier the better for all of us. That is why the MPs are appealing to him to expedite action," he said on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the Majority have confirmed that six persons were killed and over 20 others injured by the military during an operation in Bawku on Sunday.
MP for Tempane, Lydia Akanvariba, narrated the sequence of events and demanded an apology from the military for what they described as unprofessional conduct.
