An Obuasi-based businessman and philanthropist, Mr. Atta George, has donated air conditioners and packs of bottled water to the Ghana Police Service under the Ashanti South Police Command, in a gesture aimed at supporting the operational efficiency and welfare of officers.
The presentation ceremony, held at the command’s headquarters, was attended by police officers and members of the community who gathered to witness the benevolent act. The donation forms part of Mr. George’s commitment to promoting peace and security within Obuasi and its surrounding communities.
Speaking to the media after presenting the items, Mr. George emphasized that the growth and sustainability of businesses are closely linked to a peaceful and secure environment. According to him, the role of the police in maintaining law and order is indispensable to commercial success.
“We cannot work without peace or without police protection. That is why I took it upon myself to donate these items to support the police in their work,” he stated.
He further called on fellow businessmen and women, particularly those operating in Obuasi and adjoining areas, to support security agencies in diverse ways to strengthen peace and stability across the municipality.
Receiving the items on behalf of the command, the Ashanti South Police Commander, DCOP Joseph Hammond Nyaaba, expressed profound appreciation to Mr. George for his generosity and dedication to community development. He noted that the air conditioners would significantly improve the working conditions of officers, while the bottled water would be useful in supporting personnel during their daily operational duties.
DCOP Nyaaba also used the occasion to appeal to corporate bodies, business leaders, and other stakeholders within the jurisdiction to assist the command in completing its ongoing gym center project. He explained that the facility, when completed, would enhance the physical fitness and overall well-being of officers, thereby improving service delivery.
The donation highlights the importance of collaboration between the business community and security agencies in advancing peace, safety, and sustainable development within the Ashanti South jurisdiction.
