Knust Src Donates A Vehicle To The Knust Police Command To Help Beef Up Security Off Campus.
The Abuah-Reginald led SRC as part of its vision to augment security off campus have with the help of Management of the University provided a refurbished HARDBODY pickup to the KNUST Police Command.
This donation was held earlier today at the Transport section of the school in the presence of SRC President, Dean Of Students,University Relations Officer, The Oforikrom Municipal Police Commander, KNUST Police Commander and other officers both from Management and the SRC. The Police vehicle is here to support the patrols off campus by the Police Service.
Pending the approval of the 2021/2022 SRC Budget statement by the Parliamentary Council, the SRC has been able to quickly facilitate this imperative initiative today having in mind that a high percentage of students reside off campus and are prone to security threats or dangers especially in the night.
The Police Command today after inspection and acceptance of the vehicle, expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the KNUST SRC for this intiative to improve security off campus as a shared social responsibility for students and inhabitants and pledged to operationalise the vehicle solely for its intended purpose after full brandishing.
KNUST SRC President During Budget Read Talked about KNUST Police Patrol Vehicles
Mr. Speaker, I know my friends and honorable members from the Non-residential caucus will be excited to hear this; as part of the SRC’s commitment to augment Security off campus, two pickups would be purchased for the KNUST Police Service. Our checks indicate that 1 vehicle will cost about GHC 48,000.00. Hence the estimated budget to see to the implementation of this project will amount to GHC96,000.00. Its important to note that whilst increasing the patrol off-campus we must provide the needed apparatus for its effectiveness, Students residing off-campus would hugely benefit from this project as the patrols by the Policemen with these vehicles will reduce crimes and deal with miscreants around places where students are dominant. Procurement process for this particular project is expected to begin this month and we anticipate the Commissioning in the month of May.
