From Ernest Best Anane.
The Glico Group, an insurance company, has presented building materials worth GH¢8,000.00 to the Ashanti Police Command, in support of the building of a Conference Hall for the regional police administration.
The materials were made up of 100 bags of cement, one tonne each of 16 mm and 20 mm iron rods, and an cheque for GHc1,000. Nana Efua Rockson, Head Corporate Affairs Glico Group, explained at the presentation that the gesture of the group followed an appeal by the police administration for assistance in building a conference hall for administrative work.
According her, the group has being in operation in the Ashanti Region for 27 years, and observed that insurance is when the people get peace of mind, and was convinced the residents would have the peace to go about their duties if the police is well equipped to provide required services by the people.
DCOP Kofi Boakye, Ashanti Regional Police Commander, who received the items on behalf of the Regional Police Command, commended Glico Group for the kind gesture. He said the 300-capacity conference hall project, which takes off very soon, will also serve as an operations room.
The police boss appealed to other companies and corporate bodies to emulate the shining example of Glico Group. DCOP Boakye mentioned that GOIL had also provided the police administration with four petrol tanks.
