Stealing of construction materials has slowed down work on the Sunyani inner city roads project in the Sunyani municipality, being executed by the Sino-Hydro corporation of china.
For the past weeks, the construction company has recorded several thefts, particularly, stealing of chippings at its various sites, thereby slowing down the progress of work on the project.
Madam Justina Owusu Banahene, the Bono regional minister disclosed this in an interview with Sompa FM in Sunyani and warned those engaged in such bad practices to stop.
Accordingly, she said the Bono Regional Coordinating Council (BRCC) had mounted surveillance and appealed to everybody to be on the watch to help apprehend the perpetrators.
The Regional Minister described the situation as disheartening and warned that anybody who might be found wanting would be made to face the full rigours of the law.
