On Sunday, July 14, 2024, banker and philanthropist Raymond Addai Danquah, who also serves as the CEO of RAD Kitchen, a rapidly growing restaurant in Accra, demonstrated his unwavering commitment to corporate social responsibility through a significant contribution to the La Police Station.

Mr. Raymond Addai Danquah, popularly known as RAD, personally spearheaded the renovation of the La Police Station, a project that underscores his dedication to giving back to the community where he grew up. The extensive renovations included painting the entire station, creating new office space, replacing window nets and buttons, and donating an air conditioner for the Station Officer’s office. Additionally, he provided the station with new barricades and a dozen reflective vests to enhance their patrol operations.

In his brief remarks during the presentation, Mr. Addai Danquah expressed his heartfelt connection to La, a suburb of Accra. “Growing up in La, I have always felt a deep sense of duty to support my community. This is my way of giving back, a small token of appreciation for the police who tirelessly maintain law and order. I hope to do even more in the future to uplift this community,” he stated.

The La District Commander, ASP/Ms. Patience Klomegah, expressed her gratitude on behalf of the entire police force. She acknowledged the importance of Mr. Addai Danquah’s contributions, stating, “We are extremely satisfied and appreciative of the support from Mr. Raymond Addai Danquah. His generous gesture will significantly enhance our working conditions, and we promise to make the best use of these resources to serve the community better.”

In her official statement, ASP/Ms. Patience Klomegah remarked, “The La District Police Command was privileged to have Mr. Raymond Addai Danquah of RAD GROUP presenting to us four barricades, twelve reflective vests, and an air conditioner after painting our building and portions of the barracks. I would like to, on behalf of the Inspector General of Police, Accra Regional Police Commander, Cantonments Divisional Commander, and the La District Command, say a very big thank you to him for availing himself to be used by God Almighty to support us with these items. This will go a long way in enhancing our work.”

She added, “We pray that wherever these came from be replenished in multiple folds, and as the saying goes, ‘Oliver asks for more’, our palms are wide open for more. In fact, my men and I are very happy, and we promise to deliver as expected of us. Thank you, and God bless you.”

Looking ahead, Mr. Addai Danquah has expressed his desire to continue supporting the La community and other areas in need.
