KMA boss donates food items to Central Prison inmates

Mr Richard Ofori-Agyeman Boadi, aka King Zubah, the Metropolitan Chief Executive of the Kumasi Metropolis, has donated 25 bags of rice as a personal gift to inmates of the Kumasi Central Prisons.

The gift follows his visit with some management members of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA).

The visit enabled the KMA team to discuss with the prison officials the possibility of engaging inmates for sanitation programmes in the metropolis.

Presenting the items to Chief Superintendent Kofi Takyi, the second-in-command of Kumasi Prisons, the mayor disclosed that the gesture follows his realisation during a previous visit that the inmates had not eaten rice for some time.

He promised that his wife would provide gallons of oil and tins of tomatoes to complement his effort and thus enable the inmates to enjoy their meals.

The minister emphasised that prison is a reformation centre and not meant as a punitive tool for the inmates and urged well-meaning citizens, philanthropists and civil society organisations (CSOs) to support the government in catering for the inmates.

Mr Ofori-Agyeman also expressed the need to shape public perception about people in prisons, noting that many inmates are there by accidents and misfortunes.
