SECURITY

From promise to Action: MP breaks ground for police stations at Kotokuom and Bayerebon No.5

In a bold move to strengthen security and restore public confidence, Hon. Seth Osei Akoto, Member of Parliament for Atwima Mponua Constituency, has officially cut sod for the construction of two modern police stations in Kotokuom and Bayerebon No.5 on 31st March and 1st April 2026 respectively.

The projects, which fulfill a key campaign promise made during his 2024 tour, are expected to significantly enhance security presence across the district’s over 500 communities and serve as a strong deterrent to crime.

Addressing enthusiastic residents, Hon. Akoto underscored the urgent need for expanded security infrastructure in the area, stressing that safety remains a critical foundation for development. He charged contractors to prioritize local labour to stimulate economic growth within the communities, while urging chiefs and opinion leaders to take ownership of the projects and ensure accountability in their execution.

The MP also used the platform to voice deep concern over the declining fortunes of cocoa farmers, describing the current drop in produce as unprecedented in Ghana’s 87-year cocoa history.

He revealed that the Minority in Parliament is actively engaging government to restore favourable cocoa prices to sustain farmers’ livelihoods. In a firm caution, the member of Parliament advised farmers against selling their lands to illegal miners, warning that such practices continue to undermine Ghana’s global cocoa standing.

The gesture has been widely welcomed by traditional leaders and residents, who expressed gratitude to Hon. Akoto for delivering on his promises and taking concrete steps to address pressing security challenges.

For many, the sod-cutting ceremony signals not just the start of construction—but the beginning of safer, more secure communities in Atwima Mponua.
