The five-day exercise being carried out by the Asokwa Municipal Assembly and the various security agencies is aimed at achieving total compliance to the wear your mask directive in the municipality.

At the Municipal Security Council (MUSEC) meeting, last Friday, the assembly resolved to carry out the exercise due to the low level of compliance to wear your mask directives in most of the electoral areas in the municipality.

The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Mr. Akwannuasah Gyimah who led the operation warned that failure to adhere to the directives including observing all the protocols will lead to the closure of the markets, lorry stations and other business centers in the municipality.

He noted that even if the assembly has to take extreme decisions of imposing some restrictions on people in the municipality as an antidote of fighting the pandemic, the assembly will not hesitate to do so.

The Asokwa District Police Commander, Superintendent Owusu Mpianim, the Commander in charge of the operation sounded intense warning to the people not to dare his team by refusing to wear the mask; as such people would be dealt with ruthlessly.

“Today is the first day of the operation so we are applying human face and telling them to wear the mask but from tomorrow we are going to be hard on the stubborn ones”, the Commander emphasized.
