Prisoners files burnt
DOCUMENTS CONTAINING the jailed terms and other
vital information about some prisoners at the
Kumasi Central Prison have been burnt, creating
administrative problems for officials of the
penitentiary.

Ashanti Regional Minister, John Alexander Ackon,
who made the disclosure, said the documents got
burnt when some inmates of the prisons attempted a
jail break at the facility, about a year ago.

According to him, the prison officials in the
region are now consulting relevant bodies, mainly
the Ashanti Regional Police Command to get the
information covering the prisoners to streamline
their operations.

Mr Ackon implored the police and other
stakeholders, to co-operate fully so as to help
the regional prison officials secure the
information to make the management of the prison
easier.

The Ashanti Regional Minister was speaking when
Mr. Prosper Bani, Minister of Interior and the
IGP, John Kudalor, who are on a working tour of
the region, visited him in his office on Wednesday
morning.

He disclosed that about 639 inmates are currently
on remand at the Kumasi Central Prison, lamenting
that the ancient-looking prison facility is
currently congested, with its attendant health
problems for inmates.

Mr Ackon said the idea of relocating the Kumasi
Central Prison from the heart of Kumasi, should be
given the utmost attention, saying that the
Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who owns all
lands in the region, could play a major role.

He said the Fulani cow menace at Asante Akim Agogo
is a national problem which needs multi-sectoral
approach, commending the Ashanti Regional Police
Command, for working assiduously to combat crime
in the region.

Mr. Prosper Bani, for his part, saluted the
Ashanti Regional Police Command for working
tirelessly to reduce crime in the region,
stressing the need for the police to shun
complacency and uphold hard work.

He charged all relevant security agencies in the
region to work hard to ensure that the upcoming
presidential and parliamentary elections would be
peaceful in the region and the country at large
