Oppong Nkrumah donates to Nsawam prison to mark his 41st birthday
Minister for Information, and Member of Parliament for the Ofoase Ayirebi Constituency, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has made a donation to the Nsawam Prison to commemorate his 41st birthday today.
The donation, made on behalf of his family and his constituents included medicines, assorted food items, toileteries and other necessities and were presented by his sister, Abena Kesewaa Oppong Nkrumah Esq on his behest.
In a post on his social media pages, the Minister said, “this morning, the Oppong Nkrumah Family and the people of Ofoase/Ayirebi donated medicines, assorted food items and necessities to the Nsawam Prison in the Eastern Region. Lawyer Abena Oppong Nkrumah, who led in the delivery of items, asked the authorities to take this as a modest contribution towards the well-being of inmates. The donation coincided with the 41st birthday of the MP for Ofoase/Ayirebi and Minister for Information, Mr Kojo Oppong Nkrumah.”
Management of the prison, while receiving the items expressed their gratitude for the gesture indicating that it will help in providing the basic needs of inmates.
The Nsawam Medium Security Prison, one of the largest confinement institutions in the country was established in 1960 with its female prison built subsequently in 1973. The facility has received its fair share of donations from many benevolent individuals and organizations but continues to appeal for more support from Ghanaians to ensure the basic necessities of inmates are provided while they serve their prison terms.
Last year, the Oppong Nkrumah family made a similar donation to The Good Shepherd Development Outreach, an orphanage in Akwatia, as he celebrated his 40th birthday.
