 The federal lawmaker representing Langton North-South federal constituency of Platt-2-State, Benilla, has suggested that community leaders be empowered as a solution to the incident communal clashes in Langton North local government area of Platt-2-State. La said, despite several interventions by her and many concerned integers of the state, to bring the troubling situation to an end, the clashes have continued unabated with women and children as major casualties. She said, passing the rights legislation by federal, state and local assemblies to enable local leaders to perform their roles would also go a long way in conflict resolution. Men needs to take the issue of communal clashes very seriously. It was also a shock to me when I asked and I said, what's the relevant committee? Who is the relevant agency responsible for inter-ethnic communal clashes? And we couldn't really come up with any. We were not sure which relevant government body is actually, because the peace and conflict resolution is an institute, is merely a research institute. Their mandate actually may not necessarily be to go down and intervene in any crisis. So government needs an agency that would be responsible for resolving all communal, inter-ethnic communal issues before the result in clashes. We don't know if there's one, but I as a lawmaker, I'm not sure I'm very, I know that there's an agency that has that mandate. If there is, they need to step up.
