LET'S COME TOGETHER TO PURSUE PEACE-COP KOFI BOAKYE

-

The Ashanti Regional Police Commander, COP Nathan Kofi Boakye, says this is the best opportune time for the rank and file of the various security services to come together and interact in the pursuit of national peace and security. 

According to COP Kofi Boakye, the security services need to foster unity of purpose as the electioneering gets to its peak in the run up to the December 7 Presidential and Parliamentary elections. 

Speaking at the first in the series of this year’s Bands Competition of Security Agencies, BACOSA, in Kumasi, the Regional Police Commander said the talks are enough and should be seen to be giving way for real action to ensure that the country remains peaceful and united even after the elections. 

COP Kofi Boakye cautioned once again, personnel of the security services to shun partisan politics but remain resolute, firm and fair in providing the needed secured environment for people to go about their legitimate activities during the election period. 

On his part, the Ashanti Regional Commander of the Prisons Service, DDP Laud Nii Boye assured that Ghana is at peace which should be jealously protected by all.

 He warned that all the security services are poised for action to ward off any peace derailing activity. 

DDP Nii Boye cautioned particularly the youth to stay away from tendencies that could lead them to problems saying that the Prisons Service has enough accommodation for anyone who would be arrested for offending the laws. 

There were similar peace messages by the Regional Commanders of the Ghana National Fire Service and the Ghana Immigration Service all appealing to everyone to help protect the country from violent conflict before, during and after the elections.

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
