Officials of Goldstar Air, e-Station and some officers in a pose
GHANAIAN AIRLINE Goldstar Air, in partnership with e-Station, a Chinese logistics company, recently donated assorted personal protective equipment (PPE) to the Ghana Police Service (GPS) at its headquarters in Accra.
The Executive Chairman of Goldstar Air, Eric Bannerman, said, “As the Covid-19 pandemic sweeps across the globe, social distancing, restrictions on movement within and between countries, and new rules as well as regulations on who can work, and from where, have turned lives upside down. These developments have added new tasks for the police organisation. These have changed the demands on and expectations of policing at a time when resources are already stretched.”
Mr. Bannerman stated that the presentation formed part of Goldstar Air’s corporate social responsibility to assist the GPS as it went about its duties in the face of the coronavirus plague.
“Goldstar Air’s corporate social responsibility is a concept whereby the airline integrates social and environmental concerns in its business operations and interactions with stakeholders. This will be extending to other institutions as well since the airline will be working closely with the security agencies like the Ghana Police Service for in-flight security, as they travel as air marshalls with the purpose of protecting our aircraft and passengers against unlawful interference,” he pointed out.
The items were received by Commissioner of Police (COP) Samuel Monney, who is Director General Technical, on behalf of the Inspector General of Police, James Oppong-Boanuh.
He thanked the organisations for their contribution towards fighting the spread of Covid-19.
