The Microfinance and Small Loans Center (MASLOC) has stated that the district's security condition is to blame for the closure of the MASLOC officer in Bawku.

In a statement issued in response to what it calls false information spreading on various social media platforms and websites, MASLOC denied any attempt was being made to deprive the public of its services by temporarily closing the Bawku District office.

The institution claims that the issues in circulation have certain errors and do not accurately reflect all the information.

“The institution would like to inform the general public and its stakeholders that the primary reason for its decision to temporally close its zonal offices in Bawku was due to the insecurities at Bawku which made the office non-functional,” MASLOC explained.
