The Member of for Subin, Kofi Obiri Yeboah, has blamed the recent devastating fire outbreak at Adum in the Central Business District of Kumasi, in the Ashanti Region, on erratic power supply, commonly referred to as 'dumsor'.
Speaking in on Monday, March 24, 2025, he urged the government to resolve the ongoing power crisis.
According to him, his engagements with some affected traders and eyewitnesses revealed that the fire was triggered by power fluctuations. "In my interaction with traders and eyewitnesses, it was revealed that this fire was allegedly triggered by dumsor.
Power had been out, and the moment electricity was restored, it sparked and triggered the fire.
