Fire gutted the residence of Mr Kwaku Sarpong, Kade Constituency Chairman of the NPP and destroyed property worth millions of cedis on Friday, December 28, last year.

There was no one in the house when the fire started in the afternoon but an eyewitness said by the time firemen from the Ghana National Fire Service put out the blaze about half of the building had been destroyed. Mr Sarpong had travelled to Accra while his wife and children were out.

He said all their personal belongings were destroyed. A fire service official said the cause of fire could not be immediately determined.
