Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as he was mobbed by the traders
Former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, on Tuesday morning paid a surprise visit to traders at the Adum Market in Kumasi to commiserate with them following the devastating fire outbreak that ravaged parts of the market last Friday.
The deadly inferno swept through several shops at the Central Business District, destroying goods and properties worth millions of cedis and depriving hundreds of traders of their livelihoods.
Dr. Bawumia, who looked visibly saddened by the extent of destruction, interacted with the grieving traders and expressed his heartfelt sympathies over their loss.
As part of his support, the former Vice President donated GHȼ200,000 to the affected traders to help cushion them as they count their losses and begin rebuilding.
He also presented 1,000 bags of cement to assist in reconstructing the burnt portions of the market.
The traders, who were excited by Dr. Bawumia’s unannounced visit, mobbed him upon his arrival and expressed their gratitude for his timely support during this difficult period.
Dr. Bawumia assured the traders of his continued support as they work to restore their businesses and rebuild their lives.
