Criminal incidents in the country does not mean an increase in crime -Ambrose Dery

 


Citizens of Ghana griped in fear as recent killing of a police officer escorting a bullion van in Accra, roberry and other criminal cases have been reported.

Its led to citizens of the country, calling upon the government and the security agencies to up their game and get rid, if not decrease the situation.

It was on this note that the interior minister Hon. Ambrose Dery vehemently reject the assertion that the government has lost the fight against crime in the country.

He said the fact that such criminal incidents happen in the country does not mean that crime is on the increase.

The ranking member on the Defence and interior committee in parliament James Agalga, addressing the media said;

 “Four more years for Nana [Akufo-Addo] has begun with a rise in crime. Ghanaians no longer feel safe compared to our immediate past. Violent crime-related cases, particularly robbery, are shaking the foundations of our nation, and it is only fair and a duty for us to call on the Nana Akufo-Addo administration to up its game.”


“We are calling on the President, Chairman of the Security Council, Commander-in-Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces to ensure the peace and security in a country that has remained an oasis of peace in a troubled region is not compromised.”


Meanwhile, the interior minister strongly disagree and insists that government is on top of issues.

He also assured Ghanaians that the government will do more to ensure safety in the country.


“What we should know is that the criminals continue to change the modules and we have to be changing with them and the police is doing all it can. We have not lost control. I always want to emphasise that, we need to go to neighbouring countries to see what is happening there, but we are not in the same league with them.”


“We want to do better than we are doing now, but believe me, Ghana is safe; that is why all the other countries are running to Ghana.”
