Kumasi MPs Visit Fire-Ravaged Suame

Members of Parliament (MPs) from Kumasi have come together under the leadership of Hon. Francis Asenso-Boakye, MP for Bantama.
As part of their first major initiative, the MPs visited Suame Magazine, a key industrial and commercial hub that recently suffered devastating fire outbreaks.
The infernos resulted in the destruction of several businesses, loss of livelihoods, and significant economic setbacks for traders and artisans in the enclave.
Among the MPs in attendance were Hon. John Darko, Esq., MP for Suame; Hon. Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, Esq., MP for Manhyia South; Hon. Vincent Assafuah, Esq., MP for Tafo; and Hon. Mike Aidoo, MP for Oforikrom.
During the visit, the MPs expressed their sympathies to the affected individuals and assured them of their commitment to advocating for the necessary support and resources to help rebuild and revitalize the area.
They also took the opportunity to assess the extent of the damage and identify potential areas of intervention.
The MPs’ visit to Suame Magazine is part of a broader effort to promote economic growth and development in Kumasi and its surrounding areas. By working together, the MPs aim to attract investment, create jobs, and improve the overall quality of life for residents.
In addition to their visit to Suame Magazine, the MPs have also been engaging with local communities, businesses, and other stakeholders to gather input and ideas on how to best address the challenges facing the region.
They plan to use this information to inform the development of policies and initiatives that will drive progress and prosperity in Kumasi.
The MPs’ united front and commitment to the development of Kumasi and its surrounding areas is a positive step towards creating a more prosperous future for the region.
