@Yaw mensah, may God forgive you for encouraging tribal war. How can you say Fantes should join Ashantis to defeat Ewes. We should find a way of solving such issues not start more tribal wars. We really don't need people like you in our country.

when will ghanaians put a stop to puting politics to everything we do.police are doing their inverstigation then you will hear a high party jump into conclusion accusing hon. Agyapong of the statement he made about akans and ewes. When will we find solution to our problems and stop the blame games.

am very disappointed in the Fantes for acting this way. am tasking them to see the other side of the case and also know that, those politicians will never be affected fighting over a statement made by K. A.

y do u attack a tribe on suspicion of murder. It cld be ur own people. I wldnt be suprised if the one who killed him brought up de idea of the attack. Kennedy shld also tk part of the blame. Honuourable indeed.

It is time a FEDERAL SYSTEM OF RULE is introduced in GHANA. DECENTRALIZATION IS THE ONLY ANSWER. EWES SHOULD STOP THE EXPANSIONISM

there is a time to play cheap politics with issues. sometimes we all do. But there comes a time when we need to put aside the filthy garment of politics and wear our national garments as Ghanians . This is one such times.

What is happening to our brothers and sisters in central region is and should be of great concern to all. We need make statements and post comments that will not hurt sensibilities and aggravate the situation. Guns and weapons when fired and used, do not differentiate between POLITICAL PARTY SUPPORTERS NOR TRIBES. WE ARE ALL AT RISK. PLEASE LET PEACE PREVAIL NOW AND LET US BE CIRCUMSPECT

There is danger looming out of Kennedy Agyapong's statement calling Akans to smash the heads of Ga's and Ewe's . I will suggest nationwide reconciliation between these tribes for they felt being looked down upon. The chieftaincy institutions have alto to do.

This guy who calls himself Yaw Mensah is worse than the hoodlums on rampage. You aren't going to reap any dividend from such comments coming from a desperate loser. You may not know but you only ended by tagging yourself as an ethnic bigot. Shame unto you!!!!!!
