Here are the key points addressed:
Savannah Regional Minister’s Involvement: The rejoinder denies any interference by the Savannah Regional Minister in Damongo Chieftaincy affairs. It emphasizes the Minister’s commitment to maintaining peace and order and refutes allegations of bias.
Blessing of the Enskinment: It categorically denies any endorsement or support from the Regional Minister for specific factions in the chieftaincy dispute. The absence of official invitations or instructions regarding security arrangements is highlighted.
Police Presence at the Function: The presence of the police at the event is clarified as a measure to ensure general security and not as an endorsement of any enskinment. It points out that security personnel were present throughout all five enskinments that has happened in recent times, not just one.
Request for Heavy Security: The rejoinder refutes claims of a request for heavy security by Chief Alancha, asserting that the Regional Minister was not involved in any such request due to his absence from the region at the time.
Regional Minister’s Absence and Instructions: The clarification addresses the Regional Minister’s absence from the region and emphasizes the standard procedure of the Regional Police Commander assuming control in such cases.
In conclusion, the rejoinder seeks to set the record straight regarding the Savannah Regional Minister’s alleged involvement in Damongo Chieftaincy affairs and emphasizes the commitment to maintaining peace and impartiality in the region.
