On Sunday, July 14, 2024, Banker and philanthropist Raymond Addai Danquah, who also serves as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of RAD Kitchen, a rapidly growing restaurant in Accra known for its quality meals, demonstrated his unwavering commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) through a significant contribution to the La Police Station.
Mr. Raymond Addai Danquah popularly known as RAD personally spearheaded the renovation of the La Police Station, a project that underscores his dedication to giving back to the community where he grew up.
The extensive renovations included painting the entire station, creating new office space, replacing window nets and buttons, and donating an air conditioner for the Station Officer’s office.
Additionally, he provided the station with new barricades and a dozen reflective vest to enhance their patrol operations.
In his brief remarks during the presentation, Mr. Addai Danquah expressed his heartfelt connection to La, a suburb of Accra.
“Growing up in La, I have always felt a deep sense of duty to support my community. This is my way of giving back, a small token of appreciation for the police who tirelessly maintain law and order. I hope to do even more in the future to uplift this community,” he stated.
The La District Commander, ASP/Ms Patience Klomegah, expressed her gratitude on behalf of the entire police force. She acknowledged the importance of Mr Addai Danquah’s contributions, stating, “We are extremely satisfied and appreciative of the support from Mr. Raymond Addai Danquah. His generous gesture will significantly enhance our working conditions, and we promise to make the best use of these resources to serve the community better.”
In her official statement, ASP/Ms Patience Klomegah remarked, “The La District Police Command was privileged to have Mr. Raymond Addai Danquah of RAD GROUP presenting to us four barricades, twelve reflective vests, and an air conditioner after painting our building and portions of the barracks. I would like to, on behalf of the Inspector General of Police, Accra Regional Police Commander, Cantonments Divisional Commander, and the La District Command, say a very big thank you to him for availing himself to be used by God Almighty to support us with these items. This will go a long way in enhancing our work.”
She added, “We pray that wherever these came from, be replenished in multiple folds, and as the saying goes, ‘Oliver asks for more’, our palms are wide open for more. In fact, my men and I are very happy, and we promise to deliver as expected of us. Thank you, and God bless you.”
Looking ahead, Mr. Addai Danquah has expressed his desire to continue supporting the La community and other areas in need.
Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
