A new Police Station built with the support of the Member of Parliament (MP) Ofoase/Ayirebi, Mr. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has been presented to the Akyem Akokoaso, a town in the constituency.
Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare joined the MP to hand over the station to the District Police Command.
At a brief ceremony on Saturday, Mr. Oppong Nkrumah who is also the Minister for Information said the facility is part of efforts to improve security in the District to compliment investments in infrastructure and livelihoods.
“An integral part to the development of any community or country is security. That is why we have made frantic effort at providing this edifice to carter for the security needs of my beloved constituents especially those in Akokoaso and its immediate environs,” he said.
Accordingly, the Ofoase Ayirebi MP charged constituents to also contribute their quotas by supporting the Police to effectively fight crime in the constituency, since fighting crime is a collective responsibility.
The IGP who officially opened the facility tasked his officers to discharge their duties with dignity and respect.
He further urged his personnel to ensure that the facility and other resources made available to the service to fight crime in the constituency are properly maintained and taken care of.
