SECURITY COORDINATOR YET TO RETURN

-
The embattled Ashanti regional Security Liaison Officer, George Adjei is yet to return to duty since an attack on him by members of the Delta Force last Friday. 

The Security Liaison Officer was allegedly attacked and forcibly evicted from his office about 10am last Friday, by members of the vigilante group, exactly three days upon his assumption of duty. 

A visit to the offices of the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council by Ashanti Today showed that the Office of the Regional Security Liaison at the Regional Coordinating Council had remained closed with the glass door broken during the confrontation, yet to be fixed. 

He was whisked away for safety in a Police pick-up vehicle.

There was however absolute calm at the premises as the civil servants went about their official duties. 

All the additional deployed police personnel to beef up security at RCC as a result of the alleged attack, had been withdrawn, leaving a handful of security personnel made up of police officers and a member of the Kumasi City Guards providing the normal security at the main entry point. 

Meanwhile, the Ashanti Regional Command plans to update the media on the current status of its investigations into last Friday’s disturbances at the Regional Coordinating Council. 

The Head of the Public Affairs Department of the Command, ASP Nketia-Yeboah told our correspondent that the police are still gathering information in relation to the incident and that the planned media briefing will enable the Regional Commander to let in public measures being adopted to maintain the prevailing peace in the region especially.

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

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

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
