Kwasi Boateng Adjei <\/strong><\/p>\n

THE FAMILIES of four people shot dead and 29 others injured during
\na bloody demonstration at Foase in the Ashanti Region have been awarded a
\ncombined GH\u00a21,491,000 compensation by government. <\/p>\n

Each of the four families of the deceased persons, namely Prince
\nBoateng, Kwaku Seth, Kwadwo Ofori and Douglas Addai,\u00a0\u00a0received
\nGH\u00a2250,000 as an appeasement, as the nation accepted responsibility for the
\ntragic incident which occurred in February last year.<\/p>\n

Deputy Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Kwasi Boateng
\nAdjei, who made the presentation on behalf of government, said people who were
\ninjured in the fatal shooting incident had been awarded compensation ranging
\nbetween GH\u00a24,000 and GH\u00a210,000 (depending on the degree of injury).<\/p>\n

The victims, who were among residents protesting over the
\nrelocation of the Atwima Kwanwoma District capital from Foase to nearby Twedie
\ncommunity, were shot at by police officers deplored to the area to maintain law
\nand order.<\/p>\n

Government responded to the tragic incident by setting up a
\ncommittee chaired to investigate the shootings after residents accused the police
\nof targeting them amidst tension and discontent.<\/p>\n

Another committee chaired by the Deputy Minister
\nwas set up \u2013 after the three-member committee submitted its report \u2013 to among
\nother things determine monetary compensation for the affected persons,\u00a0the
\nAshanti Regional
\nMinister, Simon Osei-Mensah explained.<\/p>\n

This was after government, led by President Akufo-Addo, footed the
\nmedical bills of the injured victims at the cost of GH\u00a2100,858, besides cost
\nincurred for the burial and final funeral rites of the deceased persons.<\/p>\n

Chairman of the Committee, Kwasi Boateng Adjei, later said the incident was regrettable and avoidable, calling on members of the security services to always act professionally in situations such as the Foase demonstration. <\/p>\n
