According to him, the fast sprawling development of settlements and commercial properties in the area has opened up the place to crime including armed robbery.

The chief who was speaking at the Kwabena Yam Festival said the community has made available land and building for officers who will be deployed to serve in the Akokoa community.

The Chief, Nana Owusu Sah Kofi II and people of Akokoa in the Atebubu Amantin Municipality of the Bono East Region have made a passionate appeal to the government through the Municipal Chief Executive, Thomas Masuid to provide them with potable water since they have no source of drinking water in the community.

The only source of drinking water for the Akokoa Community is a muddy stream and self-dug manhole.

On education, Sanaa Hemaa (sub-queen) of Akokoa Traditional land advised parents to educate their wards and stop concentrating on fashion, like funeral clothes, wedding and engagement materials which are not very unnecessary.

Nana Yeboah Asiamah Asieduwaa, the Sanaa Hemaa added that, parents in Ghana, especially Akokoa community must actively support their wards' education to ensure quality outcomes, as parental involvement significantly boosts academic performance, attendance, and overall school success.

According to her some parents due to factors like low literacy levels or lack of awareness of their role don't know how they can contribute to their ward's quality education and provide a conducive learning environment.

She lamented that education is a crucial investment for a secure future and meaningful contribution to national development.
