He emphasized that in order to promote understanding and create bridges amongst the many tribes in Nkwanta, open lines of communication are essential.

"I beg everyone concerned to approach the discussion with an open mind and heart. Let's put unity over division, understanding over ignorance, and nonviolent discourse first. Together, we are stronger, said Dr. Makubu.

The minister revealed intentions to hold a peace summit with representatives from the warring tribes, local authorities, and other interested parties as part of his initiative to advance peace. 

The summit's objective is to provide a forum for candid conversations so that attendees may express their worries and collaborate to find long-term solutions.
