The Ashanti Business Owners Association (ABOA) has contributed GH¢200,000 to aid the construction of temporary offices for police personnel in Kumasi, Ghana. This donation aims to support the development of a new police office complex estimated to cost GH¢4.8 million, which will replace nine pre-colonial police offices at the Central Police Station.
The proposed facility features six specialized holding cells and an executive conference room, addressing the pressing need for improved security infrastructure in the metropolis. The Mayor of Kumasi, Mr. Richard Ofori Agyemang Boadi, received the donation at a ceremony in Kumasi, stating that the total amount raised so far for the temporary facility has reached GH¢410,000.
The government has pledged GH¢4.8 million towards the project, which will alleviate overcrowding in police cells and modernize security operations in Kumasi as the city experiences rapid urban growth.
