Former Minister for Food and Agriculture and Member of Parliament for Abetifi in the Eastern Region, Bryan Acheampong, yesterday took his turn to donate GHC300, 000 to support victims of the recent devastating fire outbreak at the ‘Bule Light’ area of the Kumasi Central Business District.
He has also promised to rebuild the market if Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, and Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) would consent to his proposal.
“I will reconstruct the PZ Market if Otumfuo and the government will agree,” the former Agric Minister told the victims during the visit to sympathise with the traders to remain calm despite the setback.
The inferno, which affected several shops and homes, has left dozens displaced, with many struggling to rebuild their lives.
The Abetifi Legislator said his gesture was aimed at helping the “most affected” traders to revamp their various businesses.
According to Acheampong, he would dialogue with the Asantehene, the Regional Minister and KMA for approval to rebuild the market and that if Otumfuo gives him the go ahead, he will rebuild the affected buildings within a year.
He further urged individuals, philanthropists, corporate societies to come to the aid of the affected traders.
MP Acheampong had, earlier in January this year also donated GHC500,000 to the Kantamanto Market fire victims in Accra. T
he traders appreciated the gesture from Bryan Achampong and called on others to help in rebuilding their burnt structures.
