The Member of Parliament for Kpandai constituency in the Northern region, Matthew Nyindam is calling on the Ministry of Interior for assistance to beef up the capacity of the security systems in the whole district.
He averred that the crime level in the area has increased conspicuously because of the small number of policemen available to man operations and also protect the safety of the general public at the district.
Speaking to Ghanamps.gov.gh, the MP recounted that a total number of 5 policemen were at the moment present in the area which critically unmatched the total population of about 70,000 in the district.
In addition, he said logistics and vehicles to facilitate their operations and assist them embark on essential task like patrols was also a problem.
According to him, this has created significant lapses with the security level of the district, hence called for a concerted effort to give a boost in the capacity of the sector so the safety of the residents could be guaranteed.
He estimated that development cannot thrive in an environment of chaos, disturbances and disorder, hence the need to improve security for the district.
