The Member of Parliament for Builsa South Dr.Clement Apaak has admonished the government to provide the needed logistics for the effective policing of the Builsa North Police Command.
The MP said this during a ‘Thank-You’ tour of his constituency.
The Command oversees the Builsa South District, so the MP took time to interact with the Command over the challenges confronting them.
The lack of adequate Police personnel, lack of adequate transportation, the unwillingness of victims of crime to report or provide evidence, the need for additional police post, and the need for a Builsa South District Police Command, were some of the challenges the command complained of.
The Command was of the view that the challenges are affecting effecting Policing and until they are resolved, personnel would find it difficult in working efficiently.
Reacting to the concerns raised, the MP assured the Police Command that he will make a statement on the floor of Parliament on the security challenges in his constituency and would bring these matters to the IGP and the Minister for Interior.
He indicated that our men in uniform should be given the needed support tot combat crime, protect lives and property and ensure discipline.
Meanwhile, Dr. Apaak visited and interacted with all the Eight Chiefs of Builsa South, their Elders and 118 Subchiefs.
He took the opportunity to thank them and on behalf of former President John Mahama.
At every Palace, Dr. Apaak raised concern over the increased criminal activities in Builsa South, especially armed robberies.
He promised to do his best by advocating for more police personnel, additional means of transportation for the police and the establishment of police posts in Kanjarga, Doninga, and Uwasi to help arrest the situation.
Dr. Apaak urged the Chiefs and Subchiefs to also assist them by exposing criminals or suspected criminals in their communities by alerting the police.
