They have a very good environment to work. So, it has led to an improvement in justice delivery in the region. Previously, you could hear, oh, this case has taken too long. That case has taken too long. However, the time for adjudication of most of these issues has been shortened. And that complaint is coming down. I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s gone, but it\u2019s coming down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd again, the achievement, the security sector, I\u2019m sure the provision of infrastructure and some logistics as well as, the increase in the numerical strength of the security personnel has all contributed into achieving what we have now,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The minister further reported a significant increase in security personnel and also highlighted the provision of major equipment to the security personnel to boost their operations as a key measure being implemented.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen it comes to the security sector, which has increased by 5,108, from the level of about, 6,000 something went up beyond 12,000. They\u2019re giving a difference of about 5,108\u2026I don\u2019t think any country can solve all security challenges, but at least we\u2019ve been able to bring all those challenges down to the barest minimum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026Women were being raped and then people being killed annually, crop farms being destroyed, crashes between cattle herds, and then food crop farmers. All those things were a major challenge in this region. And anybody who sees the truth, who wants to be truthful to him or herself, will tell you that that problem has been reduced to the barest minimum. Say that now, they can even produce enough plantain and then export some to Burkina Faso,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"entry-content no-share\">\n<div class=\"content-inner \">\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<div id=\"aswift_5_host\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Advertisement\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\"><em style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1f310.svg.svg+xml\" alt=\"\ud83c\udf10\" data-pin-no-hover=\"true\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1f4f0.svg.svg+xml\" alt=\"\ud83d\udcf0\" data-pin-no-hover=\"true\"\/>\u00a0#StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei-Mensah, has credited the decline in highway robberies, kidnappings, and high-profile crimes in the region to the robust strategies implemented by the Ashanti Regional Security Council (REGSEC).
