Lawyer Kofi Obiri Yeboah Feeds Inmates of Kumasi Central Prison With Food Worth Gh40,000

The Member of Parliament for Subin Constituency, Hon. Lawyer Kofi Obiri Yeboah has paid a visit and fed inmates of Kumasi Central Prison as part of his campaign promises made to them.

During the visitation, he mentioned that Kumasi Central Prison, the second-largest prison in the country with the most inmates, is located in his constituency. As an MP and father to all, he views it as part of his responsibility to assess the living conditions of these inmates.

Hon Lawyer Kofi Obiri Yeboah continues that the condition of these inmates can happen to anyone at any time, which has motivated him to visit and encourage them whenever the need arises for these inmates to do away with the perception of feeling neglected by society.

The Member of Parliament for Subin Constituency stressed that for these inmates to feel important, he brought well-prepared food worth Gh40,000 to feed all the inmates at the Kumasi Central Prison.

Hon. Lawyer Kofi Obiri Yeboah urged the public to do away with the perception most have about prisoners since most sentences are an act to reform them to be better people for the country and not as a punishment as many see it to bvoice.

He further called on the government to offer a presidential pardon or amnesty to inmates with stealing offences, or better still, engage these inmates in community labour rather than sentencing them to Prison.

The MP for Subin Constituency emphasised that he will collaborate with the office of the Attorney General and ensure that Kumasi Central Prison gets amnesty whenever the need arises.
