Crime rate in Ghana unacceptable- Defense Minister



Interior Minister, Mark Woyongo says the level of crime rate in the country is still unacceptable, despite the general decrease in all forms of crime. According to Mr. Woyongo, the situation poses a risk to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) as well as Tourism and the general security of the public. The Interior Minister made the remark, at the opening of the mid-year sector performance review workshop at the Kofi Annan International Peace Keeping Training Center, in Accra. The two day review meeting was themed “Promoting Organizational Efficiency and Effectiveness towards Improved Sector Performance”. It hopes to strategize on how to bring the crime rate under control and also get the necessary resources from government to undertake their operations. Recent statistics shows significant drop in crime rate but Mr. Woyongo assured his outfit will do everything possible to ensure Ghana remains the most preferred country to visit and transact business. He therefore charged heads of the various sectors to remain focus in ensuring that issues of public safety are attended to with the seriousness they deserve.
