President John Dramani Mahama has announced the donation of a brand-new 66-seater bus to the Damongo Camp Prison in response to a request made by the Director General of the Ghana Prisons Service, Patience Baffoe-Bonnie.
Speaking at the commissioning of the Damongo Camp Prison in the Savannah Region, the President said the bus will serve not only the prison but also the wider Damongo community. He described the gesture as a response to Jesus Christ’s admonition to care for the least among society, adding that true leadership is demonstrated through compassion and service.
“I have heard her request, and so we’re going to give the Damongo Prison a 66-seater bus, brand new. It will help not only the prison but the entire Damongo community,” he said.
President Mahama praised the collaboration between the state, the Church of Pentecost, and the local community in making the new facility a reality. The 300-capacity all-male camp prison, built and donated by the Church of Pentecost, is the third of five promised by the church and serves as a rehabilitation and skill acquisition centre equipped with workshops, a chapel, and recreational facilities.
