On March 21, a devastating fire swept through a community in Kumasi, Ghana, leaving many people injured, displaced, and facing significant financial hardship.
The Ashanti Regional Director of Communication for the NPP, Mr. Paul Kwabena Yandoh, has called for equal treatment for the victims of this fire disaster, comparing it to the attention and support given to the victims of the Appiate explosion in the Western Region.
In an exclusive interview, Mr. Yandoh expressed his disappointment that the Kumasi fire has not received the same level of support and attention as the Appiate explosion.
He noted that the fire has caused great sorrow and hardship for many, leaving some people handicapped and facing bankruptcy, with significant debts owed to their bankers.
Mr. Yandoh urged that the true spirit of sympathy and concern should be shown to the fire victims, rather than simply offering foodstuffs. He also called on politicians to suggest and implement more substantial forms of support, such as data systems and funding sources, and to take note of the number of affected victims who require assistance.
The NPP communications director noted that the Kumasi fire is a serious incident that demands the same level of attention and support as the Appiate explosion.
He urged all hands to be on deck to ensure that the fire victims are relieved of their challenges, and called on the government to take action to address this crisis.
The comparison to the Appiate explosion is a powerful one, as that disaster received significant attention and support from both the government and the international community.
The victims of the explosion were provided with financial assistance, medical care, and other forms of support to help them rebuild their lives.
The Kumasi fire victims deserve the same level of support and attention. The government must take action to ensure that these individuals and families receive the help they need to recover from this tragedy.
This includes providing financial assistance, medical care, and other forms of support to those who have been affected.
In addition, it is important for politicians and community leaders to come together to provide support and assistance to the fire victims. This can include offering data systems and funding sources, as well as providing information on the number of affected victims and their needs.
The true spirit of sympathy and concern should be shown to the fire victims, rather than simply offering foodstuffs. This means taking the time to listen to their needs, providing emotional support, and working together to find solutions to their challenges.
In conclusion, the Kumasi fire is a serious incident that demands the same level of attention and support as the Appiate explosion. The government, politicians, and community leaders must come together to provide the necessary assistance to the fire victims, ensuring that they have the resources they need to rebuild their lives and move forward. The true spirit of sympathy and concern must be shown, and all hands must be on deck to support those in need.
