Security analyst Dr.
Ismael Norman is urging the government to take Ghana's internal security concerns more seriously, saying public fear and growing insecurity could undermine any progress in economic development.

Norman made it clear that the sense of safety among citizens is just as crucial as economic indicators. "When I don't feel secure in my house because I feel the area boys may attack me, then it doesn't matter how well the economy is doing - the security of the country is at risk," he emphasized on The Key Points on TV3 on Saturday, July 26. "We need to question a lot of people, including the former Chief of Defence Staff." His comments come at a time when Ghana's national security is facing intense scrutiny following a troubling report about missing military-grade ammunition.
