The current structure which serves as the District Police Head Office was built 68 years ago by the then chiefs and people of Wamfie (now the capital of the District) as a police post to provide security for the area and neighbouring communities and has since, seen just a little improvement.

Its apathetic nature has deterred a formidable security force for the developed area over the years.

The new edifice which is part of the 1 million dollars per constituency projects of the District, will among other ancillary facilities comprise of administrative and CID offices, charge and common rooms, stores and waiting areas with its first phase expected in 6 months.

The achievements include doctors’ bungles, unit of classroom blocks, boreholes, toilet facilities, District NHIS office, Fire Services Station, Ambulance Bay, and many others of which some like a 60 bed District Hospital and a Radio Station yet to start.

He reiterated that the presence of a modern-day District Police Headquarters would beef up security and give the District a facelift.

He added that though he would not be in office as MP from the next administration, he would continuously pursue endeavors in favour of the District and support its development in every capacity.

He noted that major of his achievements for the District accrued during the first four years of the Nana Addo led government and therefore advised his followers to vote Nana Akuffo Addo and his successor Mr. Paul Twum Barima into power come December 7th, so that the District would be better off.

He also pledged his support for the newly elected NPP Parliamentary Candidate, Mr. Twum for the sake of the District’s Development.

The District Chief Executive, Hon. Emmanuel Kofi Agyeman commended the Nana Addo led government for the numerous development the District has received since they came to power.
