HOW BBC CAPTURED HON. HAWA KOOMSON’S GUN FIRED AT A VOTER’S REGISTRATION CENTER

The Minister of special development initiative, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Ewutu Senya East, Madam Mavis Hawa Koomson has admitted to firing warning shots at the ‘Steps to Christ’ registration centre following a pandemonium that crop up at the center. This has attracted lots of condemnations by the general public. One of such is Dr Anning at the Kofi Annan Peace keeping center.

The issue has waved into the international world. Many Ghanaians fear about the situation and the image this has casted on the country. The BBC has it on the website. It is captioned as ‘Ghanaian minister fires gun at voter registration centre. She told local TV channel Adom News that she fired “warning shots” because “there were no police around”.


The minister in defense on Monday said she fired as a warning “to protect herself”. Many are asking of her resignations or her dismissal. Prof. Asante, the chairman if the peace council speaking in his personal capacity rather than for the National Peace Council described the incident as “very very worrying”. He later said, the minister should do the honourable thing by stepping aside.
