The Member of Parliament(MP) for Assin Central in the Central Region, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong has donated 200 street light bulbs to the Traders at Kumasi racecourse market to enhance security.

Presenting the lights on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, Mr kwame Owusu, campaign manager for Hon Kennedy Agyapong said, the donation was made as part of the efforts to significantly improve the security situation in the market particularly at night in order to drastically reduce the number of thefts and robbery cases.
