P.U.P. calls for action against crime

The Opposition, Peoples’ United Party has reacted to the alarming number of murders in recent days in the west of the country. The P.U.P. is calling on the U.D.P. government to quote “institute more robust and effective measures to combat the surging crime situation, especially in the Cayo District where six murders have been committed during the past week alone.” The call to action came via a press release today which goes on to say that the Cayo District is a premier tourist destination and therefore personal security and safety on the roads and highways are a must. According to the P.U.P., the fact that every electoral constituency in Cayo is represented by a U.D.P. in the House of Representatives, gives them a special responsibility to the residents of Cayo.
