The Ashanti Regional Security Council has said adequate security made up of military and police will be made available to respond to any attacks on enumerators during the population census in the region which will commence on June 28, 2021.

The Chairman of the Security Council who doubles as the Regional Minister, Simon Osei-Mensah said this in a reply to a question on the alleged attack on some enumerators at the Bonkrom electoral area in the Ahafo Ano North District of the region.

Addressing a press conference today, Wednesday, 23 June 2021 at the Regional Coordinating Council on the population census, Mr Osei-Mensah said the enumerators were not attacked but the residents only resisted them from numbering their houses.

He told the media that the census night will be on June 27, 2021, where the proper population census will follow on the next day and end on July 11, 2021.

Mr Osei-Mensah pleaded with the people in the region to participate in the exercise to help the region get more developmental projects.
