Member of Parliament for Pru East Dr. Kwabena Donkor is brooding over the takeover of armed robbers in his Constituency as he calls for more security to beef up their operation.

Over the weekend, local media reports confirmed that a military officer has been killed in the constituency by armed robbers.

The sad incident occurred on the back of several armed robbery attacks recorded in the last few months which has instilled fear in constituents.

Speaking on the Morning Starr Monday, Hon. Kwabena Donkor shared that he believes the situation in his constituency is a result of intelligence failure.

“I believe it’s an intelligence failure. We’ve had too many of this so the security officials have to up their game even though we appreciate what the IGP has done for us. That whole corridor is under threat. Economic activity is under threat. We are already starting from the bottom so if our effort is negated by crime, then we have a serious problem,” the Pru East MP noted.

According to Hon. Kwabena Donkor, unemployment is one of the key issues leading cause of the high rate of crime in his Constituency.

“They’ve even brought a regional patrol team to augment what we have but the situation is still there. I think unemployment and other factors are giving birth to this high-level rate of crimes and as a country, we are sitting on a timebomb,” the lawmaker added.
