Member of Parliament for the Gomoa East Constituency, Hon. Desmond De-Graft Paitoo, has called on the government to support the police service, particularly the police in Gomoa East, to help them combat increasing crime in the area.
He claims that more resources are needed in the constituency due to the rise in crimes so that the police can carry out their duties in a professional manner.
He noted that resourcing the police in the area with the necessary logistics and personnel will help tackle the crime menace, which has become a nightmare for the community.
Hon. Desmond De-Graft Paitoo made the call on the floor of Parliament, stating that in fighting the menace in the constituency, the police ought to be resourced to help combat criminals.
“Gomoa Budumbram and Gomoa Dominase District police command have no single vehicle that they use it for patrol- And the area especially, Budumbram as we see is densely populated area and crime rates over there is quite high”
“I want to hear from the minister, if he has plans to provide at least single vehicle for this command to help their operations” he stressed.
He added that if there are more divisional commands in the Gomoa East, there will be an increase in personnel who will work assiduously to curb the rampant crime incidents in the area for harmonious living and business to thrive.
