The Ashanti Business Owners Association (ABOA) has presented a cheque for GH¢200,000 in support of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly’s (KMA) plan to relocate the Kumasi Central Police Station to a temporary structure to pave the way for the construction of a modern edifice.
The KMA has planned to construct a spacious and fit-for-purpose police station, hence its decision to temporarily relocate the command.
The Assembly requires a total of GH¢750,000 for the construction of the temporary structure, and ABOA’s donation brings the total contributions received so far to GH¢410,000.
