Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress, Professor John Evans Atta Mills has called on government to assist victims of the Kantamanto fire disaster.
“This is the time that government must really show it cares because when people give the mandate to people to manage the affairs of state, they do so with the hope that their needs and concerns will be catered for” the NDC Leader said.
Professor Atta Mills made the call when he visited victims of the fire disaster to show his solidarity to the people in their time of distress.
He was accompanied by his wife Mrs Naadu Mills and leading members of the party, including, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, NDC General Secretary, Ama Benyiwa Doe, NDC National Women’s Organiser, Hon Jonathan Nii Tackie Commey, NDC MP, Ododiodoo, and some executives of the Odododiodoo constituency
On Tuesday fire razed portions of the Kantamanto market, destroying properties running into several billions of cedis.
The NDC Leader promised that the NDC will contribute its widow’s mite to help alleviate the plight of the victims.
“We care that is why we are here and will contribute our widow’s mite to help support you in this time of need” Professor Mills said.
Prof Atta Mills also called on other well-meaning individuals and groups to stretch a hand of support to the victims who have found themselves in a very unfortunate situation.
“This is not about politics, it is about fellow Ghanaians who are suffering, and need a lot of support and comforting in this time of need” the NDC Leader said.
On his tour of the market the tail of the fire was still glaring, with thick smoke all over the place.
