Stakeholders are calling for strengthened regulation on the importation, use, and ownership of arms and ammunition to stem rising crimes in the country.
According to officials, recent attacks on mobile money vendors, explosions, and other violent crimes are likely to escalate if swift measures are not implemented to regulate the proliferation of small arms and light weapons in the country.
They warn that these weapons have become widely accessible, posing a significant threat to national security.
Speaking to Citi News after a one-day workshop in Kumasi, monitored by the GhanaWeb, the President of the West African Action Network on Small Arms (WAANSA) Ghana, Ken Kinney, highlighted the vulnerabilities in Ghana's security framework concerning arms control.
