    Ghana Police should start rewarding people with cash when they come up with tips that could lead to arrest to people who have committed crimes and I can bet lot of these crimes would be solved

    Protect yourself. Heed to the warning that the new strategy is to exterminate opposition leaders in the face of defeat. Guard against hidden places, unnecessary invitations, and secret affairs. Value your life.

    You are not completely right. The state has failed to protect its citizens. Ghana is fast degenerating into a chaotic state. Ghana is failing fast!

    You people make the laws. Anyway, why were MPs not given police protection when NPP was in power?

    The protection of MP's is an individual MP's responsibility. Government doesn't have all that money to seek protection fo MP's

    The government by creating conducive and equal living standards can reduce crime. The more unequal a social the higher the crime rates.
    May Hon Danquah RIP.
