00:00Chiming in on the current crime situation in the country, former government minister
00:04Dr. Bo Tiwari is of the opinion that a government is trying to take as little political risk
00:09as possible and the police are also taking the minimum tactical risk in order to find
00:14solutions to the country's crime problems.
00:20The gangsterism is spreading throughout the country.
00:24But we know that there are locations for the gangs.
00:27They don't want to do anything to disturb the gangs and the structure of the communities
00:35from which the gangs come because it may have a political cost.
00:40And between the police minimizing their military risk and the government minimizing their political
00:49risk, the country, the citizens of this country has been put totally at security risk because
00:59they are walking and living targets in the country.
01:04Tiwari cited as examples Jamaica and El Salvador where governments dealt with out-of-crime
01:10issues and did not become less popular, which leads him to believe that there is no political
01:15cost attached to dealing with the crime situation, but that it is actually a plus.
01:21So if you solve a problem that is an endemic problem for the population, I think it's a
01:27myth to think that it's going to give you a political cost.
01:34You cannot sacrifice the population because of your political survival, it is wrong.
