Paramount Chief donates ICT equipment to 2 police posts

The Eastern Nzema Traditional Council in the Ellembelle District of the Western Region has donated Information Communication Technology (ICT) equipment to the Ellembelle District Police and the Nzema East Municipal Police commands.

The two commands received desktop computers and printers worth GHC12,000.

Speaking at a durbar of chiefs and queens of the traditional area, Awulae Amihere Kpanyile III, Paramount Chief of the Eastern Nzema Traditional Area who presented the equipment on behalf of the traditional area said the presentation was in honour of a pledge the chiefs and queens made to the two police commands sometime ago.

He said in this technological age it was necessary for the police to be technologically inclined in order to effectively fight crime in the 21st century.

He said instead of keeping information on paper, it would be much better to keep them in a digital form to make accessing and sharing of information less cumbersome and less-time consuming.

Awulae Amihere Kpanyile III said a computer consultancy firm would soon be contracted to set up a secure centralized computerized network in the Ellembelle District that would gather information from all the police stations in the district.

This, he said would aid the work of the district police commander to quickly and efficiently access information from all the police stations under his command within the shortest possible time.

Receiving the ICT equipment on behalf of the beneficiaries, the District Police Commander of Ellembelle, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Vordzorbge expressed his gratitude to the traditional council for their kind and thoughtful gesture.

He promised the traditional council that the ICT equipment would be put to good use to improve the security in the district.
