Personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) in the Tema metropolis on Wednesday joined two of their colleagues from the Western Command in a walk to call for peace in the metropolis during the December 07 polls.
The personnel numbering about 50 met their colleagues Fireman John Dadzie, an ace walker and Station Officer Joseph Ampiah who were accompanied by Assistant Division Officer (ADO) Bernard Atatu Williams and Mr Philip Commey, a physiotherapist at the Kpone barrier.
The two fire officers started a national walk exercise from Wa in the Upper West Region through the other eight regions to Tema with the aim of preaching peace to the electorates throughout the country.
In the Tema metropolis the two embarked on a three-hour walk from the Kpone barrier through the motorway roundabout to Ashaiman via the Tema hospital road to communities nine, eight, seven, four and one.
Mr Kwabena Taah Korang, Tema Regional Fire Officer who welcomed the team to the metropolis congratulated them for their commitment towards promoting peace in the country while calling on others to emulate their effort.
Mr Korang gave the assurance that the security services in the metropolis were adequately prepared to professionally ensure a peaceful election.
He said security personnel would be deployed to about 21,000 polling stations nationwide to ensure security, free, fair and peaceful election on December 07.
He entreated the public to contribute their quota to maintain peace, noting that, "yours may not be embarking on a peaceful walk but educating people around you on the importance of a peaceful election."
Mr David Quaye Annang and Mr Albert Boakye Okyere, Tema Metropolitan and Ashaiman Municipal Chief Executives respectively congratulated the team when they called on them and noted that peace was relevant for the development of the nation.
They advised residents of Tema and Ashaiman to eschew violence to ensure that electorates exercise their franchise in peace.
Meanwhile the Police Wives Association (POLWA) in the metropolis on Thursday embarked on a one and a half hour peace march through the principal streets of community one.
The ladies numbering about 100, carried placards some of which read; "mother Ghana wants peace not war", "women say no to war" and "Violence divides people".
Mrs Gifty Yeboah, spokesperson for the association called on politicians to educate their followers against engaging in violence activities before, during and after the election.
Mrs Yeboah said politicians must value the lives of women and children as they suffer most during conflicts and wars.
