PSC must also raise its voice against drug trafficking, white collar crime
Dear Editor,
I read with interest the Private Sector Commission’s comments on the crime situation, and its call for a meeting with Minister of Public Security on what it described as “the increasing and wide-spread public concern over the manifestly frightening and disturbing incidents of violent crime across the country.”
I presume that they are speaking about the apparent spike in armed robberies.
I applaud the PSC’s concern. However, it would also be commendable if this body also expresses similar concern about equally reprehensible criminal acts.
When will the PSC raise its voice against drug trafficking, money laundering, the siphoning off of citizen’s hard earned cash from some banks, the treatment and exploitation of some private sector workers, the rise in the trafficking of women by individuals in business.
Or are these incidents not perceived to be crimes also, because there are no guns involved?
I will take the PSC seriously when that body speaks out against these crimes.
