Law and order remains volatile six months into new government administration
Photo Collected
Six months after the formation of the new government, law and order across the country remains unstable, failing to meet public expectations for security. Official data indicates a rise in incidents involving homicide, violence against women and children, and physical assaults on police officers.
Public anxiety has escalated due to an increase in criminal activity, including public shootings, extortion, and mugging, which frequently occur in busy thoroughfares, markets, and commercial districts. In several instances, suspects have been forcibly rescued from custody, further highlighting systemic security challenges.
The prevailing sense of insecurity is compounded by the operational status of the police force. Following the mass uprising in July, police personnel have struggled to regain full operational confidence and morale, hindering their ability to effectively maintain public order.
