MP's email hacked: Are Ghana's security agencies equipped to fight cyber crime?

After the email account of the Ho West member of parliament, Emmanuel Bedzrah, was hacked, he took the opportunity to urge the security agencies to intensify the fight against cyber crime. But how exactly are the security agencies supposed to do this?

Given the utter and embarrassing cluelessness of the Ghana Police Service and the Bureau of National Investigations about less ingenious crimes that occur in the country, one wonders if this call can be heeded even if the slouchy behemoths had a change of heart. For me, this is nothing more than wishful thinking.
