Government promises support for Kumasi Central Market fire victims

Mr Ayariga said the government, in coordination with the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), had agreed to allow affected shop owners to temporarily restore their trading spaces ahead of the Christmas season, provided the areas meet structural safety requirements.

The government has assured traders affected by a fire at Kumasi Central Market of possible state support, with the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) expected to assess the damage and determine the assistance required.

Addressing affected traders, Mr Ayariga conveyed the President’s sympathies and said the government would consider available options to help them recover from their losses.
