According to the Municipal Chief Executive, Albert Boakye Okyere, Ashaiman, which used to be known as a hub for criminals, has changed for the better.

Mr Boakye stressed the area, which in the past dominated the news for the wrong reasons, has become an economic hub with booming businesses.

This, he said, has been made possible through the relentless efforts of the residents to combat social vices.

He has, therefore, called on all to continuously support the security agencies with the necessary support in discharging their duties.

He further warned trouble makers that the security agencies will not relent on waging war against criminals.

He said this during an accountability press conference to tell residents and the media work done so far.

Mr Okyere spoke sparsely on sanitation, social intervention, governance, roads, physical infrastructure and the COVID-19 management among others.

Though he said the municipality has issues with roads, he added that it remains the assembly’s prioritised road projects, as well as asphalt overlays in areas where necessary.

He revealed that the Middle East and other areas have benefitted from the asphalting with a bridge completed at Tema community 22.
