The Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri Constituency and Minority Chief Whip, Hon. Annoh-Dompreh, has donated food items and other essential supplies to inmates at the Nsawam Medium Security Prison as part of efforts to support their welfare and demonstrate solidarity with persons in custody.
The donation, made on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, included bags of rice, maize, gari, sugar, milk, bottled water, and other food supplies intended to support the inmates’ feeding needs. Constituency executives accompanied the MP during the visit, which he described as part of his patriotic and humanitarian responsibility to the people within his constituency.
The visit also brought Annoh-Dompreh into contact with Chairman Wontumi, who is being held at the Nsawam prison facility. The MP explained that, as the representative of the area where the prison is located, he considered it important to extend support to the facility and its inmates, particularly as the year draws towards its end.
Speaking during the presentation, Annoh-Dompreh said the donation was intended to contribute to the provision of food for inmates and help address some of their immediate needs. He urged the prison authorities to ensure that the items were made available to the inmates for whom they were donated.
He acknowledged that the items might not be enough to meet all the needs of the prison but described the gesture as a modest contribution from his office. He said the donation was made in the spirit of public service and concern for the welfare of people in custody.
The MP also indicated that the timing of the donation was deliberate, noting that the period approaching the end of the year presented an opportunity to show care and support to inmates who depend on the prison authorities and external assistance for their daily needs.
Receiving the items on behalf of the Ghana Prisons Service, a prison official expressed appreciation to the MP. The official conveyed the gratitude of the Director-General of Prisons, the officer in charge of the Nsawam Medium Security Prison, who also serves as the Eastern Regional Commander, as well as prison staff and inmates.
The official thanked Annoh-Dompreh for the food supplies, including rice, sugar and other provisions, and offered prayers for his health, long life and continued well-being. He also prayed that God would replenish the resources spent on the donation and bless the MP and members of his entourage for remembering the inmates.
The presentation forms part of Annoh-Dompreh’s stated history of support for the Nsawam prison facility. Over the course of the year, he has reportedly undertaken other interventions, including the provision of paint and support for medical screening exercises, as part of efforts to contribute to the welfare of inmates and improve conditions at the facility.
