The facility, which cost GH¢236,126.28, was built under the supervision of the MP and the DCE through the District Assembly’s Common Fund (DACF).
The facility, which has separate cells for male and female, is equipped with sanitary facilities and it will serve Akyem Nkwateng and its surrounding communities which include Kuntenase, Dodoworaso, Akumafitaa, Abohemaa, Asuabena, Botwe and Asoase among other communities.
Deepen human relation
