The Ekow Ewusi Foundation on Tuesday donated furniture and other operational items to the Abura District Police Station.
The donation, which includes 5 sets of office furniture, chairs, and ceiling fans, which formed part of Ekow Ewusi Foundation’s Project for ensuring better security in Cape Coast North was to help furnish the station to ensure effectiveness and also in the officer’s discharge of their duties.
Chief Executive of Ekow Ewusi Foundation, Horace Ekow Ewusi presented the items which were received by the Central Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Mr. Victor Adusah-Poku.
According to him, the police are a very important stakeholder and hence the donation was going to help enhance the activities of the district police command.
Mr. Ewusi, who is also vying to be the Cape Coast North Member of Parliament on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party further promised the Abura District of providing them with an operational vehicle within a month to make their patrols smooth.
He, therefore, called on the indigenes to cooperate with the police to ensure personal safety and property adding that they should imbibe the concept of modern policing which is the effort of the community and the service coming together to protect each other.
Receiving the items, the Central Regional Police Commander, DCOP Victor Adusah-Poku expressed profound gratitude to Mr. Ekow Ewusi for the kind gesture and assured of using the furniture for its intended purpose.
He was hopeful that the gesture would be a recurring one.
DCOP Adusah Poku also called for collaboration between the community members and the police stressing that policing has become a community and police relationship adding that the community alone cannot ensure their security with the police cannot be effective in undertaking their mandate of protecting the citizenry alone.
In a related development, Mr. Ewusi in his quest to create job opportunities to improve the standards of living among constituents and create wealth through entrepreneurship even before becoming the NPP Candidate in the Constituency has donated 10 sewing machines and 10 hair dryers to newly trained seamstresses and hairdressers in the Duakor and Abakam community of the Cape Coast North Constituency.
He was hopeful the donation will go a long way to equip and make the newly trained seamstresses and hairdressers self-sustaining as they begin their own businesses.
Mr. Ewusi also promised to rebuild a collapsed footbridge in the community for ease of access to the school by school children.
