Forifori (E/R), Jan.
8, GNA – Madam Monica Kessewaa Amoako, the Eastern Regional Deputy Women’s
Organizer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has organized a charity event for
inmates of the Forifori Prison Camp.
She said the gesture
was to put a long-lasting smile on the faces of the inmates this new year.
The event, which was
solely funded by the philanthropist, saw the inmates feasting on varieties of
local and continental dishes such as fufu with goat light soup, rice and stew
and many more.
Speaking at the
event held at Forifori in the Kwahu Afram Plains South District, Madam Amoako
in an interview with the Ghana News Agency, said “she was happy to be
celebrating the festive season with the prisoners.”
She said coming to
dine with the inmates, would bring joy and relief to many of them.
She said the charity
event, which was joined by the Eastern Regional NPP Executives, fed over 114
inmates.
“Far from what is
being heard about these people, as Ghanaians, we can play integral roles in
making life worth living for them,” she said.
Madam Amoako said
one of her wishes was to support inmates by improving on the living conditions
of prisoners in terms of health and other social services.
She also donated
sanitary products such as washing detergents, toothpastes and brushes, bottled
water and soft drinks to the inmates.
The inmates
participated in fun-filled activities and were treated to good music as well.
Superintendent Paul
Agyei- Nkansah, the Acting Officer in-charge, thanked Madam Monica Kessewaa
Amoako for the gesture and said the inmates needed more of such support from
the public to make them feel good.
