Dr Salih said though some efforts had been made to resolve some age-old chieftaincy disputes, the chiefs needed to delve into time tested traditional systems to help resolve the remaining ones. He disclosed that “three chieftaincy disputes within the Region have been disposed of by the judicial committee of the House, leaving seven more to be dealt with". Dr Salih commended the Tumu Paramountcy for the sustained peace in the area and urged the chiefs to take steps to resolve the few chieftaincy disputes before they escalate. The celebration was witnessed by chiefs and other invited guests from the Upper West Region who were entertained to the various Sissala dances.
