Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem with Captain Smart, the NDC chairman said instead of trading accusations, politicians should rather help the police or advocate for the police service to get the needed resources to fight crime.
“This country should move forward; those who are in charge of investigating should be given that space. Enough of the blame games and the gossips. There is more for us to do as politicians. Let’s help the police to get the needed resources to fight criminal activities,” he asked.
