Kasapreko committed to Covid-19 fight – MD
KASAPREKO
COMPANY Limited
has donated
2,400 bottles of
200ml hand sanitizers
to the Ministry
of Information to aid the
country’s Coronavirus (COVID-
19) sensitisation campaigns.
The hand sanitisers were donated
alongside some packs of
Awake Mineral Water and assorted
drinks produced by the
company.
The items were received on
behalf of the ministry by its
Deputy Minister, Pius Enam
Hadzide, and the Chief Director
Mrs Mamle Andrews.
Mr. Hadzide said his outfit had
formed teams to reach out to
people in the hinterlands with education
on COVID-19 to reduce
the spread.
Touching on how far the Ministry
has gone with the mandatory
campaign on COVID-19 assigned
them by the President of the Republic
a few weeks ago, he said
they had partnered with their district
information officers and
some churches had also released
their vans to be used for the education
in the remote areas.
Commending Kasapreko for
their generosity, he praised them
for shutting down their main
spirit (alcohol beverage) production
and resorting to producing
hand sanitizers to meet the country’s
demand as we fight the
deadly corona virus.
The Chief Executive Officer
for Kasapreko Company Limited,
Richard Adjei, said his outfit decided
to produce hand sanitizers
instead of their notable soft and
alcoholic beverages in line with
the president’s call on local industries
to be self-reliant and stop
importing stuffs from other countries
in this trying times.
He added that his outfit had
taken precautionary measures
