The Ashanti Region Commander of the Service, Samuel Owusu Amponsah indicated that congestion, coupled with inadequate funds for feeding has taken a toll on the health of the inmates in the country. He said this while addressing members of the Action Chapel that had come to donate 200 bags of rice to the Kumasi Central and Amanfrom Prions on New Year’s Day. “Although the government is doing its best, the money is not enough so we are asking that government to increase the feeding fee to 5.00. The gesture of Action Chapel in Ashanti Region is under the "Compassion in Action" Project initiated by founder, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams.
