Ghanaians criticise Kwame Despite over police station donations
- Some Ghanaians have criticised Kwame Despite over his donation of buildings to the police
- According to them, the gifts could compromise the Police Service's dealings with him
On Monday May 7, 2018, the founder and chief executive officer of Despite Group of Companies, outdoored a police station building he constructed for the Ghana police service.
The building was given to the Tesano office of the Police Service, making it the second of such donations from Despite. Earlier this year, he donated the first to the Ashanti Regional police command at Wiamoase.
