The Greenwich Meridian (TGM) Network, a volunteer-driven humanitarian organization committed to promoting dignity and improving the welfare of vulnerable communities, on Thursday, September 10, 2026, cut sod for the renovation of the kitchen facility at the Senior Correctional Centre in Accra.

The sod-cutting ceremony marks the start of a major rehabilitation project to improve the kitchen infrastructure and create a safer, cleaner, and more conducive environment for food preparation for inmates and staff at the facility.

The renovation works will include installing new windows and doors, terrazzo floor finishing and wall tiling, upgrading the electrical system, and painting the entire kitchen area.

The intervention is expected to significantly enhance hygiene, safety, and the overall functionality of one of the facility’s most essential operational spaces.

Speaking during the ceremony, representatives of the TGM Network reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to supporting the correctional institution through this practical intervention, which will improve living conditions and contribute to the rehabilitation and well-being of inmates.

According to the Network, improving the physical condition of the kitchen is not only an investment in infrastructure but also a contribution to healthier food preparation practices and a more dignified environment for both correctional officers and inmates.

Officials of the Senior Correctional Centre welcomed the initiative and expressed their appreciation to the TGM Network for its continued support.

They noted that the renovation project would address long-standing infrastructural challenges and improve the efficiency of
daily kitchen operations, ultimately benefiting everyone within the facility.

The kitchen rehabilitation project forms part of the TGM Network’s broader humanitarian agenda, which focuses on supporting vulnerable communities through sustainable and impactful interventions.

In recent years, the Network has undertaken numerous outreach activities,
including medical screening programmes, psychosocial support initiatives, educational and motivational engagements, donations to orphanage homes, and humanitarian support to correctional facilities across Ghana.

In December 2025, the Network organized a major outreach programme at the James Camp Prison in Accra, where inmates received free haircut services, medical screening, clinical psychological support, meals, and essential donations, including farming equipment and food items.

The initiative was widely commended by prison authorities for its contribution to inmate welfare and institutional self-sufficiency.

Looking ahead, the Greenwich Meridian Network continues to expand its impact through initiatives focused on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), vocational skills development and youth empowerment, women’s and girls’ empowerment programmes, community-based medical
outreach, disaster relief support, the establishment of a community clinic, and a food bank to assist vulnerable families.

The commencement of the Senior Correctional Centre kitchen renovation reflects the Network’s belief that meaningful rehabilitation extends beyond programmes and services to include the improvement of physical infrastructure that supports dignity, health, and human development.

Through partnerships and volunteerism, the TGM Network continues to demonstrate that sustainable community transformation is achieved through collective action and a commitment to serving those most in need.

Dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has responded to Sarkodie after the rapper’s recent tweet about principles in the music industry.

In a lengthy post on X (formerly Twitter), Stonebwoy recounted how he called Sarkodie the day after his Rapperholic show in the UK to congratulate him, adding that their conversation lasted over 10 minutes.

He noted that after his (Stonebwoy) own show at the OVO Arena, Sarkodie posted a video on social media.

“Whatever message you meant to send across, only you can explain,” Stonebwoy wrote.

According to him, after he made what he described as a factual tweet about the industry, he still reached out to Sarkodie privately because of some cryptic posts the rapper had been making.

“You called back immediately. I missed it, but I called you back after, and we spoke for more than an hour on industry, behaviors, and perspectives,” he disclosed.

Stonebwoy revealed that during their hour-long chat, Sarkodie made it clear that no artiste could be forced to uphold any principle, stressing that in the Ghanaian music industry artistes must play along as long as it benefits them.

“You were very clear about how no artiste could be ‘forced’ to uphold any form of principle. That, literally, in our industry, artistes must play along so far as it benefits them, and it cannot matter how, because we all care about different things. Which is evident in Video 1,” he stated.

Referencing two videos he shared, Stonebwoy concluded that Sarkodie’s recent tweet was equally been considered, insisting that without principle, advice is merely an opinion.
