'We Are Peaceful People'


Some residents in Sunyani have expressed worry over the influx of police personnel in the streets of the Brong Ahafo regional capital.
The residents who believed the police are in the streets to see to it that there will be peace after the rulings of the election petition said they have lived in peace and will never fight because of elections.
According to the residents, they will live in peace to serve as an example to other regional capitals in the country. “Sunyani is calm and it will remain calm after everything”, one resident assured.
Speaking to Daily Guide a resident who gave his name as Richard Kusi said he has lived in Sunyani for the past fifty-five years and has witnessed several elections in the country but has not seen any one fighting with his or her neighbour because of elections.
He believed that after the Supreme Court ruling on the election petition there will be peace in the town and the country as a whole.
Mr. Kusi called on the police to use the information service van to move to the places believe to be volatile and educate people on the need to maintain peace rather than parading the police in the streets of the regional capital.
“There are many districts in the region that are known for election violence, so they should go there and educate them rather than staying in the regional capital which has always been peaceful”, he advised.
 He however mentioned that there is sanity in the regional capital because taxi drivers are not parking anyhow, but the police are still creating inconvenience for some people because of their presence and the amour cars that goes round the city.
