The Minority Caucus in Parliament has donated GHȼ200,000 to support victims of the recent Adum fire outbreak in the Ashanti Region, while also urging the government to release funds from the Contingency Fund to assist the victims.
The donation was presented during a brief ceremony on Monday, April 14, 2025.
The Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin used the occasion to appeal to the government to expedite the reconstruction of the market.
“I take this opportunity to make a humble plea to the government of Ghana, that looking at the situation we find here, obviously the traders are suffering. We know the commitment the government made in some other areas.
“We urge the government to take funds from the contingency funds and immediately and without delay come to the rescue of the suffering traders of Adum.” he stated.
On Friday, March 21, 2025, fire engulfed a four-storey commercial building at Adum causing significant damage to the market.
