Five Kumasi Metro MPs, out of the ten united MPs, gathered at the Suame Magazine industrial area to express their sympathies to those affected by a devastating fire.

The delegation included Bantama MP Francis Asenso-Boakye, Tafo MP Vincent Ekow Assafuah, Suame MP Lawyer John Darko, Oforikrom MP Michael Kwasi Aidoo, and Manhyia South MP Lawyer Nana Agyei Baffour.

According to Asenso-Boakye, the visit was initiated by Suame MP Lawyer John Darko at a time when the Kumasi MPs had recently resolved to work together to address developmental challenges and improve the lives of residents in Kumasi and the wider Ashanti region.

Speaking on behalf of the united MPs, Francis Asenso-Boakye, former Minister for Roads and Highways, conveyed their heartfelt condolences to the victims who suffered losses in the blaze.

He highlighted the extensive damage to vehicles, shops, and businesses.

Asenso-Boakye also expressed the MPs' concerns about the potential causes of the fire, citing unplanned settlements, the use of temporary building materials, and the prevalence of illegal electrical connections.

He emphasized the urgent need for stricter safety measures within the market and improved urban planning by the relevant authorities.

The united Kumasi MPs pledged to collaborate on finding lasting solutions to prevent future fire disasters, reaffirming their commitment to the well-being and prosperity of their constituents.
