The NPP’s flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has pledged to improve prison infrastructure and enhance prisoner welfare if elected president.
During a campaign stop in Akim Oda, Eastern Region, Dr Bawumia emphasised his commitment to expanding prison facilities to transform them into effective rehabilitation centres.
“My government will upgrade prison infrastructure to better rehabilitate prisoners,” Dr Bawumia stated.
Further, he also announced plans to significantly increase the daily allowance for prisoners, currently set at GHC 1.80, which he considers inadequate.
