“The economies say they have the men to boost the economy, those of us in the security sector will also tell you that we also have the men to protect you and the ballot.

Do not be afraid nor intimidated. The men in the security agencies who have secured the peace and security of the country till now will protect the country and its people on the day of elections, and after that, ” Mr Acheampong assured.

Roads

He said before President Akufo-Addo assumed office in 2017, the percentage of roads in the Eastern Region that were tarred was just 30 but President Akufo-Addo within the last four years had moved it to 50 per cent plus other developmental projects.

Mr Acheampong said there was every indication that when given the second term, the tarred roads would be moved to 90 per cent.
