Government is alarmed by the ceaseless chieftaincy conflicts which have plagued the three regions of the north.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”6aqc2yicyOmHqAjJwVRWFosE6rpndJj9″]These chieftaincy conflicts have always heightened tensions in hotspots including Dagbon, Bimbila, Bawku, WA and Bunkprugu\/Yunyoo.<\/p>\n
This is why government is calling for a succession plan for the chieftaincy institution in the three regions of the north.<\/p>\n
Interior Minister, Mark Owen Woyongo made the call at the palace of overlord of the Mamprugu traditional area, the Nayiri.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to appeal to the Nayiri and all other paramount chiefs in the three northern regions to come together and come out with a succession plan for all skins in the three northern regions.\u201d<\/p>\n
He made a whistle stop there during his recent visit to troubled Bunkprugu\/Yunyoo district where renewed chieftaincy clashes between the Jamong and Jafog (Bimoba clans) resulted in the death of two persons.<\/p>\n
He described as needless, the recurring chieftaincy conflicts in the three regions of the north, hence the call for a succession plan.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe chieftaincy institution is supposed to be a noble institution, the chieftaincy institution is supposed to galvanize the people for development, the chieftaincy institution is supposed to be a blessing but regrettably is becoming a curse because in the process a lot of people are dying needlessly, innocent people are being killed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that we need to sit up, look at the institution again and streamline a succession plan and ensure that only qualified people become chiefs and I think that this is the only way we can curb or curtail the instances of chieftaincy disputes,\u201d Mark Woyongo lamented.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, Resources meant for infrastructural development in the conflict zones are usually diverted for local peacekeeping missions.<\/p>\n
