Gun control

Yama raises concern on gun control

Governor Peter Yama said most times, crimes are committed by people with unlicensed firearms, including youth who are involved in criminal activities.

He pointed out that the root cause for many young people being in possession of firearms and committing crime is because they are not given a second chance in life, including education opportunities.

Many young people have been neglected, with no chance of employment or education opportunities; they resort to crime just to survive, stated Governor Yama.
