Kantamanto Fire: Bawumia Donates 250 Packets of Roofing Sheets and Promises CCTV Cameras

Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has extended his support to traders affected by the recent fire at Kantamanto Market by donating 250 packets of roofing sheets, totaling 5,000 pieces, along with ridge caps. The donation aims to assist in rebuilding the traders’ businesses.

The items were presented on Dr. Bawumia’s behalf by former Greater Accra Regional Minister, Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus Glover, and his team.

In an earlier gesture, Dr. Bawumia donated GH¢200,000 to aid the recovery efforts of the traders. Speaking to Citi News, Titus Glover reiterated the importance of traders securing insurance to mitigate the impact of future disasters and emphasized the need for enhanced security measures.

He further announced that Dr. Bawumia has pledged to provide CCTV cameras to improve security at the market upon its reconstruction.

“These infernos have become frequent, and it is crucial that traders secure insurance coverage for their activities. Security is also paramount. Dr. Bawumia promised to support the market with CCTV cameras—‘the silent police’—to monitor activities here,” Glover stated.

Yaw Sarpong, Financial Secretary of the Kantamanto Market, expressed gratitude for the continued support:

“He [Dr. Bawumia] presented an amount of GH¢200,000 earlier, which was very generous. We thought that was the end, but he has returned with 250 packets of iron sheets, more than enough to roof our structure. We thank him so much.”
