The General Secretary of the (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has urged the government to allow traders at the Kumasi Adum Market to rebuild the burnt market themselves.
According to Kodua, government-led reconstruction efforts may take too long, potentially lasting a year or two, which would severely impact the traders who rely on the market for their livelihoods. "The government will take like a year or two and even more to rebuild the market, so if there is any financial support, let's give it to them to fast-track the rebuilding," Kodua stated on X.
Kodua also recommended that the government provides financial support to the traders, enabling them to quickly rebuild the market and restore their businesses. "The government should liaise with the market leaders to ensure a smooth rebuilding process," he indicated.
The Kumasi Adum Market was destroyed by fire, leaving many traders without a source of income.
