Story: W.K. Adusu

The District Chief Executive (DCE) of Karachi-Nchimuru, Hon. Solomon Kuyon, is expected on behalf of the Assembly and the people of Karachi-Nchimuru (Chinderi) to inaugurate an ultra-modern police station for the area.

The Police Station which is about 98 per cent complete, is expected to be handed over to the Kete-Karachi Divisional Police Commander in place of the hitherto, the dilapidated structure housing police personnel.

It has been a long span of period seeing the Ghana Police Service personnel in the District operating under what could only be described as a death-trap of a police post, when The Republic visited.

The personnel sleeping place also leaves much to be desired as their barracks in the Chinderi-Nchimuru District leaves produces bad taste.

The Chinderi-Nchimuru District, carved out of Kete-Karachi in the country’s Volta Region had been operating from the mother district Kete-Karachi until it was given it own Assembly some ten months ago.

This Reporter also learnt that everything apart from the station post and barracks housing the personnel has been a death-trap, even including a place of convenience for the station.

The district police Station Officer for Chinderi, Mr. Joseph Bamfo, who took The Republic round the station on request to ascertain some of the condition under which they operate, also showed the paper the cells where suspects are been kept. The place was, simply an eyesore and nobody would believe such a structure as a police station.

However, Chief Inspector Joseph Bamfo and his men commended the hardworking District Chief Executive, Mr. Kuyon, for his passion and commitment to the welfare of the police personnel in the District; as the DCE re-houses them in a newly-built ultra-modern district police station on behalf of people of Karachi-Nchimuru District. 

The DCE, Mr. Solomon Kuyon, told The Republic that the new District Police Station has a conference hall facility, big charge office, district commander’s office, large CID office plus three cells - for male, female and juvenile amongst other facilities befitting a modern police station.
