The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Kade Constituency, Ofosu Asamoah has emphasized the need for major stakeholders to put in place stringent measures to address the recent spate of armed robbery cases in his constituency.<\/p>\n
He contends that the activities of the robbers have greatly affected economic activities in the area,\u00a0hence his appeal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been informed of recent cases of robbery a couple of them in recent times. Sometime past, it use to be between Asamankase to Akwatia and now we recorded in three in our area,\u201d the MP narrated.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also have a problem of communication.Most of these telcos; \u00a0MTN, Expresso etc are not very functional in most of these areas so reception is poor and transmission of messages is also poor.\u201d<\/p>\n
He however, stated that residents are in touch with the Police to deploy security agencies to address the challenge.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are trying to engage some residents and they are in talks with major stakeholders to address the challenge.Residents in the area are in touch with the assembly members to form neighbourhood watchdog committees so that they can provide some form of protection,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
