A well-known communicator affiliated with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has ignited controversy following remarks about victims of the recent Adum fire outbreak.
While many have expressed sympathy and support for those affected, the political figure took a different stance, blaming the victims for their predicament.
Speaking in an interview on Otec FM, the communicator criticized those affected, suggesting that their circumstances were a result of their own life choices.
He argued that had they taken formal education more seriously, they would not have resorted to trading in the first place.
His comments have sparked widespread outrage, with many condemning his lack of empathy.
Critics argue that his remarks not only downplay the hardships of traders but also ignore the broader economic realities that force many into informal business sectors.
The Adum fire outbreak has left several traders devastated, with losses amounting to millions.
While support efforts continue, the communicator’s remarks have added to an already heated debate about social mobility and the struggles of small business owners in Ghana.
His comments have since gone viral, attracting criticism from both the public and political figures who view his stance as insensitive and out of touch.
