According to the ace journalist, these acts of violence have the tendency to escalate if the law enforcement agencies relent on cracking the whip.

Peace Council condemns NPP, NDC clash at Jamestown; calls for immediate prosecution
Speaking on Peace FM’s ''Kokrokoo'' today [October 29], Kweku Baako called on the Police to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators irrespective of their political party affiliations.
According to him, the culture where members and supporters belonging to political parties, with specific mention of the NPP and NDC, stir riot and go scot free must end with immediate effect.
Using the Odododiodio violence as a case study, the seasoned journalist said, ''whether they're NPP or NDC, charge them. Take them to the law court. Let them face trial and if the evidence is sustained, jail them according to law . . . The arrest, the charging, the prosecution, the conviction and sentence; we need some of those things going forward as a way of helping each other".
"I feel we're weak at the enforcement of the electoral laws and even the national laws. It's part of the issue that is sowing the seeds for impunity. We have to close our eyes sometimes to the party colors of the perpetrators but arrest them, send them to court, try them and sentence them," he asserted as quoted by peacefmonline.
