According to Madam Nkrumah, there is the need for the conversation on vigilantism to be reinvigorated as elections draw near.

“We now have the vigilantism bill which prescribes stiff consequences and will make people think twice but the act in itself is not enough because we still have large weapons in the hands of people,” she said.
To Madam Nkrumah, more attention must be devoted to the aftermath of the vigilantism bill and the disbandment of groups.
