Conflict is one activity eating the development of most
African countries. In most cases, conflict rise when there is no understanding before,
during, and after an election. This affects country economic growth, making it
difficult in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 1 – Ending poverty in all
forms. On the path of children, access to education, access to health care as
said by Sustainable Development Goal 3, always becomes a problem; leaving them
[children] in jeopardy.
Ghana happens to be one out of many countries, noted for carrying
out peaceful elections. As country men and women prepare for Ghana's general
election to be held on November 7 - 2016, measures is been put in place in
order not to cause any harm against humanity and development. Organizations are
taking up initiatives to educate citizens (especially young people) not to
engage in activities that will bring about conflict, and also flee from
poisonous propaganda.
Today, members of Police Wives Association (POLWA), stormed
the streets of Tema with a peaceful walk. Present at the walk which started
from Tema Community 1 Police station and ended at the Kwame Nkrumah Park, are Police
Personnel, the Ghana Armed Forces brass band team, and the Greater Accra
Regional Minister - Hon. Nii Laryea Afortey - Agbo. The peaceful walk called to
attention of residents in the Tema Metropolis that, the police and other security
agencies, won't take it lightly with anyone who contradicts with the law.
Declaring any pre or post-election conflict in Ghana will not
be a pleasant story to the ears. I believe every safety measure put in place
will work out successfully and smile will fill the cheeks of every child.
Wishing Ghana and Africa peaceful elections.
