Story: Chris Nunoo, Wa
SIXTY-six officers of the Ghana Prisons Services (GPS) in the Upper West Region have been decorated with golden jubilee medals at a ceremony in Wa.
The awards were given to the officers during the 51st independence celebration of Ghana’s independence, in recognition of their sacrifices to the country.
The Upper West Regional Minister, Mr George Hickah Benson, who was the Guest of Honour, said the awards must be a springboard for hard work.
Mr Hickah mentioned the introduction of distance learning for inmates as one of the programmes aimed at equipping them for life after prison.
Touching on this year’s election, the regional minister urged the officers to help ensure violence-free and fair elections in December. He also advised them to psyche up for the job at hand.
For his part, the Regional Commander of the Prisons Service, Mr Joseph Kwaw Yankson, appealed for improvement in accommodation facilities for the officers in the region.
