Police Force Cooperative Credit Union (GPFCCU) has donated eight motorcycles worth over D300, 000
to security institutions under the Ministry of Interior.
The presentation, done at the Police Headquarters in Banjul was presided by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, witnessed by representatives of beneficiary institutions, including the DG, Immigration, DG, Prisons, Chief Fire Officer, SIS and Ministry of Interior respectively.
Speaking at the presentation, Chief Superintendent, Pa Singhateh, General Manager of GPFCCU said the bikes cost over D300,000 and was just a way of giving back to their parent institutions. “We are delighted to hand over this token to the various security agencies under the purview of the Interior Ministry, this to fulfil our responsibility in ploughing back to our members.
“I’m proud to say that if it wasn’t for these institutions, there would have not been the GPFCCU. We hope that the support will go a long way towards the ease of transportation in the various units,” he said.
Receiving the Motorbikes on behalf of the IGP, Momodou Sowe, Deputy Inspector General of Police underscored the importance of the Credit Union in the lives of members, including himself.
