Unavailability Of Police Station Fuels Crime Molao

Delays in the construction of the two long-awaited police stations in the Shashe West constituency is fuelling criminal activity in the area, The Monitor has learnt.

Alarmed by the crime rate in his area as a result of the unavailability of a police station, Member of Parliament (MP) for Shashe West, Fidelis Molao has appealed to the Minister of Defence, Justice and Security, Kagiso Mmusi to consider the construction of a police station. When commenting on the Defence ministry’s 2021-2022 recurrent and development budget proposals, Molao said the long wait for the construction of Sebina and Marapong police stations in his constituency can go a long way in reducing crime.

“It’s more than 10 years since the people of Shashe West constituency have been waiting for the construction of the Sebina and Marapong police stations. I am pleading with you to look into this matter because it is close to the people of my constituency who are being tormented by criminal activities, especially the escalating stock theft cases,” he said.
