Mr Osei-Nyarko Narayana, a philanthropist, politician and founder of the Narayana Foundation an NGO based in Accra dew days ago, has decided to hit the Nkwanta South Police cells in the Volta Region with the quest of bridging the gap between inmates and families outside their walls.
The charity event dubbed, ‘Christmas Giveaway With Inmates’ was organized on Tuesday 26th December 2017 as Mr Osei-NyarkoNarayana joined by his local representative, Mr. Bernard Joachim Potakey and stormed the Nkwanta Police cells with a lot of food, drinks, yogurts and water to feed over 11 inmates.
[ads]With an atmosphere filled with love and care for these inmates, Chief Inspector Okyereinvited the inmates to enjoy the mouth-watering meal. The love, passion, actions, and speed with which the inmates pounced on the packaged meal served would have one wondering how often this happened and for a day meant for joy and happiness, tears couldn’t be eliminated.
Mr. Narayana who was equally touched and very emotional about the actions of the inmates advised them to do everything possible legally and constitutionally, to get themselves out of the cells and be guided by the ordeal they are going through so that they can be reformed and become good citizens.
“Whatever bad deeds that led you to the cells should not be repeated when you find yourselves out of the cells.” – Mr. Narayana told the inmates
“ every Saint has a past and every criminal has a future. So you still have a chance to reform and become respectable people in the society. Being in cells today doesn’t spell your end” Mr. Narayana with full of emotions added
He also called on the Ghanaian society to eschew the negative perceptions about inmates, but rather play integral roles in making life worth living for them.
The kind gesture was equally extended to all officers on duty that day. Chief Inspector Okyere of Ghana Police, Nkwanta station expressed his gratitude and appreciation on behalf of the inmates and his colleagues for the eye opener gesture in the District.
He also added that, this does not really happen here and that it is a great move and that a soul has indeed been touched.
