-



The Inspector General of Police, Dr. John Kudalor has appealed for individual and corporate support to enable the Police Service to resource its personnel with adequate infrastructure as part of policy initiatives and through a multi-sectoral approach to further mitigate the infrastructural challenge of the Service. 

Dr. Kudalor made the appeal at a durbar to officially inaugurate and handover a newly constructed Police station at Asaam in the Mampong municipality of Ashanti for the benefit of the people and surrounding communities.

 The modern District Police Station was solely financed by a private transport Service operator and Philanthropist, Yaw Amponsah Marfo popularly called Agya Ewiase. 

It comprises a District Commander’s bungalow and quarters for station officers and junior ranks, bringing to eight the total number of district police stations constructed by the Ashanti Regional Police Command in the last two years under the administration of COP Nathan Kofi Boakye. 

The IGP emphasized that the new district police station was timely, considering a number of crimes that Asaam and its surrounding areas had been registering adding that, it would help to greatly reduce the incidence of crime to enable individuals embark on their daily economic and social activities peacefully. 

He also assured that the facilities at the station would be properly maintained to ensure its longevity, while commending Mr. Amponsah Marfo for constructing the police station to help provide adequate security for human lives and property.

 The Ashanti Regional Police Commander, COP Kofi Boakye noted that security is a shared responsibility and therefore advised beneficiaries of the new Police station including the Ejura and Sekyedumase communities to be security-conscious and also support officers with the needed information to reduce crime occurrences.

 He further warned against intimidation on officers of the station adding that, the Regional Police Command would not tolerate any act of indiscipline which could undermine the effective discharge of its duties. 

The benefactor, Mr. Marfo also donated a new Nissan Navara pickup and two motorbikes for use by the station and also appealed for the regular support of the Mampong Municipal Assembly for the station in terms of fuel and other critical logistics.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency which is in the western part of the metropolis from the Accra d

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously militating against
