Members of Parliament whose constituencies fall within Kumasi in the Ashanti Region have expressed serious concern about fire outbreaks at market centres which cost the nation millions of cedis.
Led by the MP for Bantama, Francis Asenso Boakye, the MPs want drastic measures taken to curb rampant fire cases in recent times.
A devastating fire last week Friday gutted parts of Suame magazine, leaving several spare parts dealers and artisans counting their losses.
The inferno, which occurred late last Friday, destroyed about 25 spare parts shops and 34 vehicles, including buses and salon cars parked at a shop, reducing properties worth millions of cedis to ashes.
