He<br \/>\nstated that, Christianity should affect all facets of society in a positive<br \/>\nway. He mentioned that, his vision for his ministry is to make it a relevant<br \/>\nstakeholder in sectors such as education, health and industry. He stated that,<br \/>\nhis church would soon begin projects in these fields to contribute its quota to<br \/>\nnation building. He promised to renovate another structure close to the clinic<br \/>\nto be used as wards for officers, their dependents and inhabitants of<br \/>\nsurrounding communities. <\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\nCentral Regional Commander of Prisons, DDP Cephas Mantey, in his speech,<br \/>\nexpressed appreciation to Apostle. Dr. Bempah for the gesture, stating that,<br \/>\nprisoners in the four facilities within the Ankaful Prison Complex were mostly<br \/>\nsent to hospitals in and around Cape Coast to receive healthcare. This he<br \/>\nstated posed a security challenge as prisoners and officers alike were exposed<br \/>\nto security hazards as those health facilities were far from prison<br \/>\nestablishments within the complex. He stated also that, a number of officers<br \/>\nare assigned escorting duties at hospitals which affected staff requirements<br \/>\ninside the prison yards. \u00a0He appealed to<br \/>\ncorporate Ghana, NGOs and public spirited individuals to take interest in the<br \/>\naffairs of the Ghana Prisons Service as according to him, they contribute<br \/>\nsubstantially to the peace we enjoy in Ghana. He appealed for support in the<br \/>\narea of inmate healthcare, trade learning workshops as well as welfare needs<br \/>\nsuch as food, toiletries and drugs.<\/p>\n<p>A Deputy<br \/>\nDirector General of Prisons, Mr. SK. Rabbles, who represented the Director<br \/>\nGeneral of Prisons, on his part mentioned that, the newly refurbished clinic<br \/>\nwould cater for the healthcare of about 1,800 inmates, 430 officers, their<br \/>\ndependents as well as inhabitants of surrounding villages. He expressed<br \/>\nappreciation at the gesture and implored on all to contribute their bit as the<br \/>\nGhana Prisons Service strives to cure the offending behaviours of inmates under<br \/>\nits care.<\/p>\n<p>Facilities<br \/>\nwithin the complex were also presented with assorted provisions and toiletries<br \/>\nto support the welfare needs of inmates.\u00a0<br \/>\nA Bible Centre was established at the Main Camp Prison to see to the<br \/>\nspiritual lives of inmates in the facility.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apostle Dr. Isaac Owusu Bempah Apostle Dr. Isaac Owusu Bempah, founder and head pastor of the Glorious Word and Power Ministries International, has on the occasion of his 50th Anniversary Celebration refurbished a clinic at the Ankaful Prisons Complex abandoned since 2007.
