Samuel Owusu Amponsah, the head of the command, said that the congestion and inadequate funds for the inmates has lead to poor healthy conditions of the inmates.
“Although the government is doing its best, the money is not enough so we are asking that government to increase the feeding fee to 5.00.
“The quality of food is not good because the money is woefully inadequate,” he said.
The statement was made when the Action Chapel in Ashanti Region, under the “Compassion in Action” Project donated some items to the inmates; which was initiated by founder, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams.
This is a good “call to action” and we urge the government to take absolute steps to curb the situation.
