Deputy Minister for Transport, Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus Glover, has said the GH₵ 2,000 bounty placed on the heads of murderers of a 90-year-old woman at Kafaba is insignificant.
The minister argues that the amount is not juicy enough to motivate people in the town to point out those who perpetrated the inhumane act.
A livid Mr Titus Glover, said those who engaged in the act must not be pardoned,demanding that the District Chief Executive (DCE), Member of Parliament – for Gonja East – and Regional Police Commander for the Savannah Region ensure that the culprits are caught and brought to book.
He also criticized the Chief of Kafaba for not being able to help the 90-year-old lady.
