She stressed the need for the Bono Region to have a vibrant Peace Council which will ensure the Bono Region enjoys utmost peace and security which are prerequisite for accelerated development.

The New Bono Regional Minister Awo, as she prefers to be addressed, equally emphasized the need for the Regional Peace Council to join hands with other state institutions such as Chieftaincy, RESEC Lands Commission and Council of RELIGIOUS LEADERS to undertake preventive measures rather than to wait for the misunderstanding to degenerate conflicts before they attempt resolutions.
