Japan Motors Trading Company Ltd. (JMTC) together with its sister company, Lakeside Estate, has donated two brand new powerful Yamaha FJR 1300AP Police Escort Motorcycles to the Ghana Police Service.
The donation, valued at GH¢728,000 according to the 2 companies, is to facilitate the movement of security personnel and the law enforcement agencies in the discharge of their duties, especially during their professional escort services.
Mr Salem Kalmoni, Manging Director, JMTC, who doubles as the Acting Chairman of the Lakeside Estate, led a high-powered delegation from the two companies to hand over the bikes to the Police Administration.
He noted that the group saw the gesture as something that goes beyond corporate social responsibility.
“It symbolises our steadfast backing for those who selflessly dedicate themselves to maintaining peace and safeguarding the lives and properties of our community,” he said.
Mr Kalmoni recalled that the two companies in 2022 donated 10 motorcycles to the Service.
He was, however, quick to commend the Inspector General of Police and all his officers for their swift response to an armed robbery incidence that occurred at its Truck showroom carpark in Tema, where a brand-new Pick-up was stolen.
Taking delivery of the bikes on behalf of the Ghana Police Service, the IGP, Dr George Akufo Dampare, thanked Japan Motors and the Lakeside Estate for what he described as a genuine effort to spur efficiency and make a lot of difference in their operations.
Dr Dampare observed that businesses can grow well only when it is prepared to do good towards society’s survival and also when they have finished doing that good.
“After extracting the profit from society and the society is not doing good, where will the workforce have the strength and energy to live in order to come to you for you to make the profit? So, the concept of having the intentionality towards societal support comes back to the business in terms of benefit. Anyone who prioritise security is trying to ensure social sustainability, economic sustainability and environmental sustainability.
The IGP, therefore, charged businesses and all stakeholders in the country to join the government and complement its efforts towards investing in our security services, stressing that for society to exist, all hands should be on deck to work consciously to promote security.
