Victims of the recent fire incident at Adum in Kumasi, the Ashanti Regional capital, received a much-needed boost with a surprise donation of GH¢100,000 from Patrick Yaw Boamah, the Member of (MP) for Okaikwei Central in the Greater Accra Region.
The donation was presented to the leadership of the traders by Boamah, who was accompanied by Lawyer Obiri Yeboah, the MP for Subin Constituency.
Boamah, who has ancestral ties to the Ashanti Region, initially presented GH¢50,000 in cash and pledged to contribute the remaining GH¢50,000 shortly.
In addition to the cash donation, the Okaikwei Central MP also committed to providing 200 bags of cement to aid in the rebuilding efforts, offering support to the over 3,000 affected traders.
