Sunyani: The K B Media Foundation, a Sunyani-based charity organization, has successfully secured the release of twin brothers from the Sunyani Central Prisons by paying their court-imposed fines totaling GHC5,000. The brothers, Desmond and Derrick Owusu, both 20 years old and Senior High School students, were serving a nine-month sentence for theft-related offenses.
According to Ghana News Agency, the Foundation, which focuses on improving the welfare of vulnerable individuals in society, intervened to pay the fines, allowing the brothers to be discharged on Monday, July 14, 2025. The twins expressed their gratitude and committed to leading meaningful lives post-release.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency, Mr. Kingsley Blessing, the Founder and CEO of the Foundation, stated, "We paid the GHC5,000 fine last week and are happy about the subsequent discharge of the inmates. We are also grateful to Deputy Superintendent of Prisons (DSP) Kutun Korga for facilitating the release process."
Furthermore, the Foundation extended its support by settling medical bills worth GHC10,000 for five patients at Sunyani Teaching Hospital, enabling their discharge. These patients had been detained due to unpaid medical bills, and Mr. Blessing affirmed the Foundation's commitment to enhancing the welfare of the vulnerable.
Comfort Pomaa, one of the beneficiaries whose medical bills were GHC2,900, expressed her appreciation for the Foundation's assistance. Similarly, Alice Bagna, who owed GHC1,200, shared her relief at finally being able to leave the hospital, as her family struggled to gather the necessary funds.
