Security analyst Richard Kumadoe has identified slow court processes as a problem for fighting organised crime in Ghana.
He said that arrests and investigations are less effective if cases do not reach a conclusion in court.
Kumadoe spoke about this issue on the Asaase Breakfast Show.
He believes that delays in the justice system give criminals an advantage.
This situation can make organised criminal groups feel more confident to continue their activities.
The analyst stressed the importance of timely prosecution for the justice system to work.
He suggested that faster court proceedings are needed to deter criminals.
Kumadoe’s comments highlight a challenge in Ghana’s efforts to combat crime.
