The money was given to the traders today, Friday, April 28, 2023, by Nana Ama Ampomah, the party’s Ashanti Regional Women’s Organiser, and a few other party officials.

In presenting the funds to the traders, Nana Ama Ampomah stated that the government is working to assist the affected traders in restarting their businesses through the Medium and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) and Ghana Enterprise Agency (YES).

She also urged the officials in charge of rebuilding the market’s impacted areas to start moving so that the vendors could reclaim their businesses.
