In the wake of the security challenges confronting the country, the former Member of Parliament for Adentan constituency, Kojo Adu Asare has questioned the competence of the various censorship boards in the country in the execution of their duties.
He raised concerns over the seemingly dormant role they play in ensuring that movies do not carry a bad signal to the viewers; something he believes is potentially and partially responsible for the spate of crimes in the country.
Addressing the security concerns of Ghanaians, Hon. Adu Asare wondered what work the censorship boards are doing to ensure films are devoid of explicit scenes and the obvious display of shooting.
He asked: “Is it that they are overwhelmed by the influx of the movies imported into the country? Or they can’t just control anything again? Because such gangsterism and so forth is a culture that you build up over a period.”
He also sought to find out if the Police Service, particularly the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), lacks adequate personnel for which reason, they have not been able to solve the security issue in the nation.
He therefore proposed that the Police Service should have a new unit like the Special forces in the Military to curb the situation.
Also, he called on the entire nation to “come together and fight crime to save this nation.”
