Dr. Adu Gyamfi, Chief Executive Officer of Medimafo Herbal Center, has donated food items worth thousands of Ghana Cedis to inmates at the Kumasi Central Prisons.
The items included toiletries, bags of rice, cartons of mackerel and sardines, gallons of cooking oil and boxes of mosquito spray.
The gesture comes under the Herbal Centre’s corporate social responsibility.
Dr. Adu Gyamfi, aka Dr. Time Daso, noted that there were some of the inmates who did not directly commit the crimes they were being held for, but had ended up there, hence, the need for society to support them by way of encouragement and assistance in cash or kind.
Dr. Adu Gyamfi called on the general public to visit prisons once a while to support them, and entreated the youth to be law abiding in order not to end up in prison.
Supt. Stella Ama Kakyo, Regional Chaplain at the Kumasi Central Prisons, also called on the general public to come to the assistance of the inmates.
She expressed worry over the neglect of the inmates by some families, and cautioned against discrimination against them, stressing that every individual was a potential prisoner.
