Rohee pillories gov’t over crime

The tables were turned on Wednesday when former Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee pilloried his successor over crime and told the National Assembly that the APNU+AFC government had fallen short of all the promises made and initiatives created to improve public safety and security.

During a presentation on a motion he brought before the House on a matter of urgent public importance concerning the  crime situation, Rohee said that the police’s continued publicising of statistics does not quell fears or convince the public that the situation is under control. He described the crime situation as a “disaster”.

The motion was merely brought for discussion and not for debate; as such it was not voted on.
