The District Chief Executive Alexander Adu-Quist gave the assurance following the destruction of the two facilities by unidentified persons amid heightened tensions after a fatal police shooting incident at Sefwi Sayerano.


The incident claimed three lives and left several others injured, prompting concerns among residents about security and public safety. Following the incident, the MCE  visited the bereaved families and injured victims to express his condolences and sympathies. He also assured them of the Assembly's commitment to supporting the affected families during the difficult period.


The reconstruction of the police posts is expected to help restore police presence and strengthen security in the affected communities.


Meanwhile, the Assembly Member for the Sefwi Sayerano Electoral Area, Samuel Agyekum, called on the government to provide compensation for the bereaved families and injured victims.


The Chief Imam of Sayerano, Adama Sadaht, also appealed to the authorities to ensure justice for the victims and their families. He urged residents and other stakeholders to remain calm while investigations into the incident continued. The Ghana Police Service subsequently interdicted eight officers in connection with the shooting, pending investigations.


The Assembly's commitment to rebuilding the damaged facilities forms part of efforts to restore public confidence and improve security in the Juaboso District.
