The Executive Director of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) Foundation, Dr. Dominic Kwesi Eduah has urged Corporate Institutions in the country to help sanitized various Prisons Centres.
Dr. Eduah, who holds PhD in Strategy and renovations from the Universidad de Costa Rica, believes inmates are punished to be reformed and not to be destroyed and so therefore their health issues should be a concern for all Ghanaians.
Speaking to pressmen after the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation Foundation fumigation exercise held at the Sekondi Central Prison on Wednesday, May 1, 2019, Dr. Dominic Kwesi Eduah disclosed that, his outfit are poised to impact the lives of Ghanaians and embarking on the fumigation exercise forms part of their objectives in improving the environmental health of Ghanaians.
” Our goal as a Foundation is to impact the lives of Ghanaians” , he said.
” We had a request from the Management of the Prisons and upon delibrating on their plea, we found out that, sanitation issues is a worry to them and we finally concluded to support. As a Foundation, we believe in you don’t punished to destroyed but to reformed and their health issues need our attention.
He disclossed that, after the Foundation’s inspection yesterday at the Prison Centre, prior to the fumigation exercise today, it was revealed that, the centre which has to accommodate maximum of 250 inmates now has over 750 inmates and its need urgent attention.
“We did an inspection yesterday and we came across that, the edifice was meant for 250 inmates but currently has over 750 which is very pathetic and so therefore sanitation at the Centre is also poor and I urge all Corporate bodies to support them because the government cannot do everything. Currently most of them are engaging in carpentry, masonry, farming and other stuffs and I think with the help of other corporate bodies, these inmates will come out as employable”.
Also to add his voice was the Deputy Director of Prison, Mr. Mark Agbosu who stated that “GNPC Foundation has done extraordinary well and we thanked them for the kind gesture even though the it was a short notice from us. We also call on other Corporate Institutions to emulate what the Foundation has done and come to our aid.
Present at the fumigation exercise was the Executive Director of the Foundation, Dr. Dominic Kwesi Eduah, the head of Media/Public Relations, Moses Antwi Benefo, Deputy Director of Prisons, Mr. Mark Agbosu alongside other staff members of the Foundation.
