KRIF Ghana Limited begins ‘branded safe’ donation to institutions
Krif Ghana Limited, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility, is on a mission to donate 52 branded safes to selected institutions across the country.
The initiative according to the company is to ensure every office owns a safe for proper protection and keeping of office documents and valuables.
Small, medium and large safes with enhanced features, including fireproof, waterproof and burglar proof features would be donated until November, 9, 2022.
Rev. Kennedy Okosun, Executive Chairman, Krif Ghana, launching the initiative last Tuesday in Accra, said at least one safe would be presented each week to an identified institution until the programme lapsed.
“This exemplary initiative is the company’s support to the work of commendable public and private institutions, and also to show gratitude to the Ghanaian public for keeping faith with Krif Ghana.
“Some of these safes would be donated to organisations nominated by Sales and Customer Service staff of Krif Ghana Limited, while the remaining majority would be the nominations by individuals, organisations and the public,” he said.
The company said there would be an online nomination platform where the public could nominate eligible institutions across all sixteen regions and 261 districts of Ghana.
“The general public must be informed that, this is not a raffle or game of chance. Krif Ghana shall not be directly involved in the beneficiaries’ selection process in order to ensure transparency and free and fair selection process,” Rev Okosun stressed.
The company said organisations that are nominated but did not end up as beneficiaries of the free safes, would be granted the opportunity to buy their choice of safes at a 10 per cent discount at Krif Ghana outlets across the country.

Four tricycle operators, popularly known as ‘Pragya’, have been prosecuted and fined GH¢600 each equivalent to 50 penalty units by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) Sanitation Court for obstructing public roads at the Agbogbloshie Market.
The offenders, who were arrested by Public Health Officers of the AMA during a routine enforcement exercise, pleaded guilty to the offence and were subsequently convicted by the court.
The four operators were among the 21 offenders recently arrested at the Agbogbloshie Market for various sanitation and public order violations, including selling on open drains, obstructing walkways, and trading at unauthorised locations.
Speaking after the court proceedings, the Head of Public Health at the AMA, Madam Florence Kuukyi, said the court was lenient with the offenders since it was their first appearance, hence the fine, and warned that subsequent offenders would face stiffer penalties, including imprisonment.
