Former Education Minister and Member of Parliament for Bosomtwe, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, has donated an amount of GHC100 and 200 bags of cement to support the victims of the Adum fire disaster.
In a Facebook post by the minister sighted by mynewsroomgh, the MP wrote:
“Today, I visited Adum Blue Light to commiserate with the victims of the fire disaster, which consumed their investments on March 21, 2025.
I was saddened to see how years of struggle by the traders to build their businesses had gone down the drain as a result of the inferno.
This underscores the need for sustained fire safety education in markets and public places as a country to prevent a recurrence of such devastating disasters going forward.
It is my conviction, as a Member of Parliament (MP) from the Ashanti Region, to contribute my widow’s mite to ameliorate the impact on the businesses of the victims, who require all the needed support to get back on their feet.
I, therefore, donated an amount of GHC 100,000.00 and 200 bags of cement to support efforts to rebuild the place.
I also encouraged them not to give up and to work closely with relevant authorities to pick up the pieces and further assured them of my continuous support in these difficult times.”
