Zoomlion Ghana Limited, one of Ghana’s leading sanitation firms, on Wednesday donated food and assorted drugs worth GH¢4,000 to the Nsawam Medium Security Prisons with a call on Ghanaians to help integrate inmates into society. Mr Oscar Provencal, Public Relations Officer, Zoomlion Ghana, who presented the items to the prison authorities, also appealed to people to desist from stigmatising inmates but embrace them. Among the items were 10 litter bins, five bales of bathroom slippers, four bales of sanitary pads, assorted detergents, loaves of bread and food beverages. He noted that the prisons were there to reform people adding; “it is not all the people who are here who are hardened criminals. Some of them are here because they committed some mistakes”. Mr Provencal said Zoomlion was touched by the plight of the inmates and decided to extend a hand to alleviate their plight. “As part of our corporate social responsibility, we want to contribute to the betterment of the health and wealth of the inmates.” He said Zoomlion would be collaborating with the Ghana Prisons Service as part of their public education programmes to improve on the lot of the inmates. Assistant Director of Prisons and Second in Command at the Prisons Mr William Ofori-Anoff lauded Zoomlion for the gesture saying the donation was going to improve the sanitation in the prison. He asked other organisations to emulate Zoomlion’s gesture. The Nsawam Medium Prisons has 2,815 inmates including 122 females. Source: GNA
