Public service workers and staff of essential service providers such as health and education are not affected by the ban on the use of motor bikes in the Bawku municipality. That’s according to the Upper East regional Minister, Mark Woyongo who tells Joy News a social communications center will be set up to take care of emergency situations. The ban was imposed by the municipal Security Council following a sharp upsurge in hostilities in the Bawku town. Already the town is under a 4pm to 6am curfew. Mr Woyongo says the ban is indefinite.
Residents say the ban on the use of motorbikes is a non starter. They tell Joy news it will rather worsen the economic situation in the area.
MP for Pusiga, Simon whose constituency is closely, believes the security agencies would be wasting their time trying to enforce the ban on the use of motorbikes instead of apprehending perpetrators of the violent acts.

In the Name of God BAWKU wake up!
The People of Bawku seem to have the knack for making all the bad news in Ghana, despite the numerous issues the media is confronted with to report on. Bawku can change headlines with horrifying tales but true of course: "man set ablaze", "51 year old woman's corpse found in a well". What is all this? cant our brother and sisters up North just for once sit and realize that they are setting us all back with their backward attitude? Am tired. so tired and somehow, hmm...
I just want our politicians and so called big men and opinion leader and all those who have a hand in the unending SAGA OF BAWKU, to bow down their heads in shame and run into the bush with their tails in between their hairy legs, aaaba!
this whole chieftaincy conflict started way before the PNDC/ NDC-NPP-NPP and now the NDC is back in the saddle. Can it evr solve the issue? Avoka has been removed after several right thinking members of society had protested even his appointment. A number of casualties later, the President finds is necessary to remove him. Martin Amidu is the man in charge of the Interior Ministry now and he has decided not to say a word about Bawku, at least despite several attempts to get him to tell us about his plan to nib this nonsense of Bawku in the bud!
The Government can do so much. but the residents of the area must be bold enough to stop this crazy attitude. thousands of military and policemen is not what we need.
