The Member of Parliament for Ayawaso East, Baba Jamal, has pledged financial support for traders affected by the recent fire outbreak at the Nima Market in Accra.
During a visit to the scene, Alhaji Baba Jamal announced that he would personally donate GH¢5,000 each to affected traders to help them restart their businesses after the devastating fire.
He also called on the government to support the construction of an ultra-modern market facility in the constituency, saying it would improve trading conditions and help reduce the risk of future fire outbreaks.
“Seeing that this is a serious tragedy that has affected our people last night, my MCE and NADMO officials all rushed here and were able to help. But you can see that some serious devastation has taken place. I want to send my heartfelt sympathies to the people who have lost their wares, and also to all the people who are in this market.
“I call on the government, our President, and the entire nation to come and assist in these difficult times. A few people who have been affected have given me their list, and so on my own, I want to offer GH¢5,000 to each of the victims in the interim,” he said.
The MP expressed sympathy to the victims and assured them of continued support as they work to recover from the disaster.
