    Obsessed with the Government. Have only an unstrategic plan in his head. Knows too much but only gets bitter and bitter. Seems to know everything but only criticism. Has never given any suggestions to do. Only obsessed with 1 man.

    Need you to get positive. You have questions? Well, put in your preconceived answers. Using words persons cannot comprehend “exacerbate”. I do understand but use simple words, my boy!

    Hmmmmmm way papa! Have mercy Father on us we mortals. We do not think of you first. You want us to love but daddy some of us are on this medium with the same stuck hatred, bitter, unkind record.

    When will this stop? Lord touch them. Pour your love on them so they will return love and not hatred, Anger. Merci Papa Bondieu!

    Yep. Crime is becoming a greater concern. The solutions are not just that of law enforcement, or protective services though. It is a larger question about the economy, societal education and ethos, and yes, the question of impunity from some, that infects others.

    The carnage continues unabated. The questions are: What is driving this unprecedented wave of homicides and robberies? Do the police have the requisite training and the human and material resources to curb or solve these frequent incidents of lawlessness? Does law enforcement have a STRATEGIC PLAN in place to fight crime? The citizenry needs positive answers to assuage their fears and apprehension.

    There is a perception out there among a large section of the population that the government is lawless and the police protect and serve only the Leader and the Ministers instead of they, the people. Perception is reality. If nothing is done to change this perception then things will only exacerbate.

      If you should leave your car, walk and familiarise yourself with the country, you will come across bad deals, broken promises, lies and dishonesty, all these lead to crime.
