The Member of Parliament for Lambussie, Prof. Titus K. Beyuo has appealed to the Ministry of the Interior and security authorities to review and lift the curfew imposed on Hamile following an explosion incident which claimed three lives recently.
He made the appeal in an urgent statement on the floor of Parliament today, following the incident on November 3, 2026 which left 13 people injured, including one person who is in critical condition.
Beyuo said the situation in the community had improved following engagements with various stakeholders, expressing confidence that calm had returned and normal life had resumed.
He disclosed that he visited the affected community the day after the incident, accompanied by some security personnel, to commiserate with the bereaved families and visit those receiving medical attention.
The MP said the injured persons were recuperating, adding that he had taken responsibility for their medical bills and would continue to support the bereaved families as they come to terms with their loss.
While acknowledging the importance of the curfew when it was first imposed, Hon. Beyuo observed that its continued enforcement had placed an unbearable burden on residents and disrupted their daily activities.
He therefore urged the Ministry of the Interior and security leadership to reconsider the restriction in view of the improved security situation.
He further called on the security agencies to expedite investigations into the explosion to establish its exact cause and other related circumstances.
Beyuo also commended the Minister for the Interior and the security services for their timely intervention, which he said helped prevent further escalation, injuries and loss of lives.
