A newly-wedded couple from the Osagyefo Kpolly Armah Foundation has chosen to put their honeymoon plans on hold in order to enhance healthcare and welfare for female inmates at the Kumasi Female Prison. Mr. Peter Kpolly Armah and his wife, Mrs. Priscilla Kpolly Armah, redirected funds allocated for their honeymoon to renovate and officially open the prison's health facility.

The foundation collaborated with the Ashanti Regional Prisons Command to also distribute bags of rice to the inmates. Speaking at the event, Mr. Armah cited biblical teachings as inspiration for their decision, emphasizing the importance of providing healthcare to inmates as a means of preserving their dignity and facilitating their rehabilitation.

The couple urged government, civil society organizations, philanthropists, and businesses to further support correctional facilities, and promised to supply medical supplies and work with health service providers to ensure the facility's continued operation. The Ashanti Regional Prisons Commander praised the initiative, highlighting improvements such as additional office space and a urinal, while the Ashanti Regional Minister called for continued public attention to inmates' welfare and support for their rehabilitation.
