Member of Parliament for Yapei/Kusawgu in the Northern Region, Hon John Jinapor has expressed no confidence in a Commission of Inquiry set up by President Akufo-Addo to investigate the violence that rocked the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election.

The President is reported to have established a Commission of Inquiry to bring a lasting solution to the issue. The 3member commission was sworn into office Friday Morning.

Making his submissions on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo", Hon. Jinapor told host Kwami Sefa Kayi that getting to the bottom of the violence that rocked the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election, has nothing to do with a Commission of Inquiry.

According to him, his party - the National Democratic Congress (NDC) - has no interest in the Commission, but rather want to see the appropriate institution picking up the perpetrators of the heinous attacks on some electorates during the elections.

The electorates who are said to be primarily members of the NDC sustained gun-shot injuries from a shooting incident at the Bawaleshie polling station with the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency.

John Jinapor therefore asked the government to demonstrate its commitment to resolving the issue by apprehending the perpetrators.

“Their pictures are there. There’s video evidence and so forth. If this government wanted to fight that crime, they should have picked those people by now and charged them. That has nothing to do with Commission of Inquiry. Absolutely nothing!" he fumed.
