Ghana: Ghana--Paper Worried About 'Buildup of Arms' in North GHANA BROADCASTING CORPORATION RADIO 1 Wednesday, September 23, 1998 The Ghanaian Chronicle is worried about what it claims is the gradual buildup of arms in the Northern Region. The Chronicle is not happy that the last time it alerted the government about a similar situation, it was dismissed as the work of alarmists. It has this suggestion: To make stockpiling of arms unattractive, strict penalties must be imposed on those caught transporting and possessing offensive weapons in the conflict zone. There must also be custodial sentences for the culprits.
