A Member of Parliament is pushing for a law to deal with the problem of mob injustice to discourage people from engaging in such acts.<\/p>\n

The MP’s move follows the lynching of a military officer, Captain Maxwell Adam Mahama, by residents of Denkyira Obuasi.<\/p>\n

The Parliamentarians have joined the public, the President, Nana Akufo-Addo, and other notable persons to condemn the act.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Asante Akim Central MP, Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi, says there is the need for the House to come up with a new legislation to tackle the menace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe law is clear…once you an individual commits an assault that person must be punished. But I do not think that we have any law for mob action. Probably that is what we have to delve into,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Last Monday irate youth of Somanya in the Eastern Region mob attacked an ECG installation over what they say is high utility bills.<\/p>\n

They destroyed properties and set a police\u00a0vehicle on fire.<\/p>\n

Reports of mob attacks have been on an ascendancy this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
