The Daily Graphic calls for an immediate ban on all vigilante groups following the activities of some pro-NPP groups which have threatened the country's peace and security. The Paper describes the recent act of the Delta Force on the Kumasi Circuit Court as despicable saying, it speaks volumes of the dangerous path the country is threading and asks the authorities to put their foot down and nib the situation in the bud. The Graphic says although it will not be fair to accuse the Akufo-Addo government for supporting the shameful acts of the Delta Force, it  believes that internal party discipline must also be enforced by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) if the party wants to maintain its credibility since they operate as an offshoot of the NPP.
 
The Ghanaian Times emphasizes the need for Ghana and other African Countries to commit more resources to Science, Technology and innovation if they want to be successful particularly in the quest for knowledge and to attain the sustainable development goals in line with agenda 2063. It cites a World Bank report which estimates that by 2020 seven out of the ten largest economies in the world would be China, Japan, Indonesia and South Korea who have taken Science and Technology to high levels, thereby reducing poverty to very low levels. It is in light of these advantages that the Ghanaian Times asks educational authorities to adopt strategies aimed at encouraging more students to go into the study of science, technology and innovation to produce who will be more science oriented for rapid development.
