The Minority Caucus in Parliament
The Minority Caucus in Parliament has donated GH¢200,000 to support victims of the Kantamanto Market fire outbreak.
During a visit to the market on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, the Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, appealed to the government to provide assistance to the affected traders.
“Parliament recently approved the 2025 budget; we are aware that the Contingency Fund exists to support individuals during times like this.
“We also appeal to financial institutions to take the situation into account and reduce interest rates to offer some relief.
“Additionally, we urge companies from whom traders have taken loans to consider the circumstances and ease the financial burden by lowering interest rates,” he remarked.
On January 2, 2025, hundreds of traders were displaced after a devastating fire engulfed the Kantamanto Market in Accra.
