He said:"It is for this reason that I regret very much the unfortunate incident that happened in Kumasi recently.
"In as much as the law enforcement agencies and judiciary have moved in to apply the laws of our land, let me reiterate that it will not be under my watch that people act with impunity.

"Neither will it be under my watch that the laws of our land will not be respected. That will not happen. Crime has no political colour under my government.
"We are a nation governed by the rule of law and the law will work without fear or favour."
Members of the Delta Force last week stormed the Kumasi Circuit Court and set free 13 of its members standing trial for allegedly assaulting the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator.
Eight people were arrested in connection with the court raid and are currently on bail.
