Adum-PZ Fire Incident takes a Swerve Turned As Petty Traders at the Old Railway Terminal Demand Compensation.

The Kumasi Railway Petty Traders are requesting compensation from the government after the city authorities demolished their stores.

A week following the Adum-Blue light fire outbreak, NADMO officials, acting under the direction of the Ashanti regional minister, destroyed just over 500 temporal structures where they conduct their business.

Decongestion and the construction of a road through the old railway transport terminal, Adum Blue Light, to connect the Abinkyi market were the two main goals of the demolition exercise.

The traders bemoaned bitterly at a news conference on Wednesday, claiming that their company has stalled since they haven’t been given a different place to operate.

We operate our firm on loans, but regrettably, we have not received payment or been provided with a different place where we can operate in order to generate revenue and repay the loans.

Contributions Only individuals whose businesses were destroyed by the fire will receive any donations that are received.

Since our stores were demolished during the demolition process, we have also been impacted.

But for the fire incident, our shops would not have been tempered by city authorities”, a red-eyed trader cried out.

Mr. Anokye William, popularly known as “Rasta,” who organized the press conference, begged philanthropists to consider them when making donations “because we have also been affected.” Not a Word The traders also said that the demolition exercise ambushed them because the city authorities failed to notify them.

Newsmen were informed by a trader named Afia Nyarko that NADMO authorities were at their location and wrecking local stores, including mine, while she was inside the house.

Another vendor who sells used apparel claimed that the exercise took him off guard, remembering that two of his bags of used apparel had been taken during the demolition.

Additionally, Anokye William, better known as “Paa Willie,” acknowledged that they received no notice. He stated that the city authorities had approved their operations in the region, meaning they have operational permissions and a lease that covers their stay there.

We have been paying our dues to KMA on a regular basis for many years. If nothing else, officials need to have had a conversation with us about the demolition exercise,” he said.

However, our news portal’s findings indicate that Dr. Frank Amoakohene, the Ashanti Regional Minister, gave notice.
