Aerobics for healthy lifestyle
The Ghana Prisons Service (GPS) has held a health walk for senior officers of the service in Accra.
It was aimed at encouraging officers to consciously make the effort to exercise, have a healthy lifestyle and promote wellness.
The 100kilometre walk, under the auspices of the Senior Officers’ Mess Committee, saw the officers walk on the principal streets of Accra as a means of maintaining and boosting cardiovascular health.
Organised for senior officers in Accra, it drew participants from the Senior Correctional Centre, Ghana Prisons Headquarters, James Camp Prisons and Prison Officers Training School.
The senior correctional officers after the walk, converged on the Ghana Prisons Headquarters to engage in aerobic exercises to keep the body in good shape.
Participants also engaged in a series of activities including a basketball tournament after the aerobics session.
In an interview with the Deputy Director of Prisons, Nathaniel Onyinah, President of the Senior Officers Mess Committee, he underscored the need for the health walk which he classified as a necessity to keep fit and promote healthy lifestyles.
He said it was prudent for officers to involve themselves in such activities since they are usually spiced with activities that have the tendency to prevent some lifestyle diseases including blood pressure and diabetes.
According to him, the health walk was an avenue to strengthen the unity among the senior officers to boost the administrative work of the service.
DDP Onyinah said the committee was committed to contribute its quota in creating an enabling environment for officers to have fun-filled activities to boost their health and wellness.
The Director of Prisons in-charge of Services, Mrs Patience Baffoe-Bonnie (Esq.), commended the Mess Committee for organising the event.
“This would reduce stress levels of officers and it would be very important to organise it more often,” she stressed.
Superintendent Sharon Ampomah, who was enthused about the health walk called for more of such fascinating events to maintain unity among senior officers.
The event was interspersed with a dance competition among past cadet course intakes and networking among officers to build a formidable relationship for the efficient running of the service.

The Paramount Chief of Bamvum, Abdulai Ziblim, has donated a one-acre plot of land at Jongshegu, a suburb of Tamale, to the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) for the construction of a new fire station.
The Northern Regional Commander of the GNFS, ACFO I Joseph Koranteng, led a delegation to formally accept the land and expressed appreciation to the Chief for his commitment to public safety.
The proposed fire station is expected to improve emergency response times and strengthen fire safety coverage as Jongshegu and surrounding communities continue to expand rapidly.
The Chief called on stakeholders to support the swift development of the facility, while ACFO I Koranteng described the donation as a strong example of collaboration between traditional authorities and state institutions to protect lives and property.

A 24-year-old tricycle (Pragyia) rider, has been jailed three months by the Nkawie Circuit Court in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality of the Ashanti Region for biting a Community Police Assistant (CPA) at Nkawie.
Abdul Aziz pleaded guilty to the charge of negligently causing harm and was convicted on his own plea.
Police Inspector Kwaku Frimpong, prosecuting told the court presided by Mr Robert Addo that, complainants in the case were officers from the Nkawie Divisional Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service.
He said on September 3, at about 8:40am, the complainants led by Chief Inspector Abedi Larbi, were on their official patrol duty to ensure safety at Nkawie township and met the convict, who was in-charge of a Pragya tricycle with registration number M-25-A-3722.
He explained that, after a careful inspection, it was detected that the convict was without licence and other required documents, so Alhassan Seidu, the CPA, was instructed to lead him to the office for the next action.
On their way to the office, the convict took a different direction, so the CPA directed him to take the right route to the police station, but he disobeyed and attacked the CPA, resulting in a struggle between them.
In the process the convict bit the CPA on the chest, so he shouted for help and some nearby youth rushed to the scene and helped him to arrest the convict.
In his caution statement, he admitted the offence and after further investigations he was charged and brought before the court. –GNA
