The Founding President of IMANI Africa, , has asked the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, to focus on clearing overcrowded markets in the Ashanti Region instead of blaming fire officers.
This came after a recent online disagreement between Dr Amoakohene and Alex King Nartey, a Ghana National Fire Service spokesperson, following the fire at the Adum Central Market in Kumasi.
On Saturday, March 22, 2025, Dr Amoakohene shared an old Facebook post from April 1, 2015, allegedly made by Alex King Nartey.
The post included jokes and wishes, including a vote of no confidence in President John Dramani Mahama and calls for an end to the power cuts known as "dumsor." Upon seeing the post, Dr Amoakohene harshly criticised Alex King Nartey, accusing him of being more of a politician than a serviceman, referencing the content of the purported post.
