Ghana: Ghanaian FM radio station comes to the rescue of the police

A private Ghanaian radio station has just launched an operation to raise funds for the purchase of police equipment. Kumasi-based Kapital Radio is hoping this project will raise 150 million cedis (8.99 million CFA francs). The manager of the station said that the initiative was designed to help the security forces improve their fight against criminality. Local police chiefs welcomed this "noble idea" and have already donated 5 million cedis (299,000 CFA francs) to the fund. This amount was matched by the management of Kapital Radio.
