A former Vice-President of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, The Netherlands, Professor Akua Kuenyehia, has advised Ghanaians to work at ensuring that the country comes out of this year’s general election devoid of violence. “This is an election year and the mantra is ‘Peace, Peace, Peace’. We should avoid election violence; we should avoid anything that will disturb the peace of this country,” she said, and added that peace was a major factor that determined a country’s economic growth. Prof. Kuenyehia was delivering the maiden lecture on Peace, titled, “The quest for peace in Ghana and Africa,” organised by the Rotary Club of Accra West, in collaboration with the Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG).
