Former Member of Parliament for Assin Central and a one-time flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Agyapong has sent a team to the fire scene at the Kumasi Central market to assess the situation.

The team, which includes representatives from his office and other key stakeholders, will engage with traders, assess their losses, and explore ways to support them. Their findings will help shape long-term solutions to prevent such disasters in the future.
