In this regard there will be heavy military and police presence in our major cities across the country starting from today.\u201d Information Minister Mustapha Hamid said at a press briefing Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The move follows the increasing pace at which robbers are attacking in broad day light, especially in Accra.<\/p>\n<p>So far about 40 robberies have taken place in the country since the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n<p>In the most recent attacks, one person was killed and huge sums of monies stolen after robbers struck in Accra and Tema in broad daylight within two days.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Starr News, Dr. Aning who had warned against deploying the military, said the approach by government is hasty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the approach is hasty, it is ad hoc, and it is just to assuage the fears of the general public. I think it is rather unfortunate. You going to put soldiers on the streets, people should not use siren and all, it is laughable.
