Former President John Dramani Mahama has charged President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to work to deal with, in his view, deteriorating security situation in the country.
He indicated that one of the ways the President can resolve this challenge is to adequately resource the Ghana Police to enable them carry out their effectively.
Mr Mahama noted that the morale of many of police personnel in Ghana is low due to the lack of adequate crime fighting logistics. Inspite of this, he said, the Ghana Police Service remains one of the best in Africa and when given all the support, can secure the highways and ensure security for all the people.
He has therefore called on the Akufo-Addo/ Bawumia government to take “urgent steps to address the deteriorating security situation in the country so that our people can feel safe to go about their daily activities.”
Mr Mahama said these in a statement issued on his behalf by his Special aide Joyce Bawa Mogtari in relation to the recent robberies and killings in the country.
He noted that in recent times, armed robbers have become so emboldened that they do not only terrorize road users in the night, but in the daytime as well, a situation he believes calls for swift action from the government.
