AMISOM donates equipment to South West State Police Force

Baidoa, 9 October 2017 - AMISOM Police has donated an assortment of office

The equipment which included computers, printers, furniture, filing cabinets, solar

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Ambayo said the donation was meant to improve
service delivery by the police and also maintain law and order in the region.

Today we donated items that will support and enhance their [South West State

committed to fulfilling this mandate, said the AMISOM official.

AMISOM Police has played a crucial role in training and mentoring local officers,
both at the federal and state level.

On his part, Gen. Adan described the gesture as timely, given the dire need for
modern equipment by Somali Police Force to help improve the countrys security.

Today I have received office equipment that we needed. It is in response to our

earlier request to AMISOM. The items include A4 papers, printers, computers, chairs,
tables and other office items like the OB [Occurrence books] and exhibit books which
will be used in police stations. We are very grateful to all who donated the
equipment, Gen. Mahat stated.
