    NPP supporters are emulating Nana Addo by smoking wee openly and indiscriminately, especially in the Kumasi Central Market. The traders should demand compensation from Nana.

    He is entitled to his views as a Ghanaian. He wasn't making recommendations to the corrupt NDC government.

  • Straight Shooter 8 years ago

    Don't you know his pronouncement can lead to some sort of prejudice towards the victims.
    He is speaking here as a Public Authority and not as an independent citizen

  • All Die Be Die 8 years ago

    These loundmouth, ungrateful Asantes deserve no support from the government. They claim to be rich so why ask for government's intervention? Pathetic, useless, primitive fools. W'aka a, w'aka.

  • Adwen pa, kibi 8 years ago

    Good advise to the gov't. No compensation. It's because of our own negligence tnis disasters occure.Whenever gov.t compensates too we tend to accuse it of spending too much. This should be a lesson.

  • Straight Shooter 8 years ago

    What kind of help can this govt. give to these victims?
    Is it food or another capital to restart their business?

    Why should the government compensate them?They should have insured their goods against fire outbreaks which are frequent and are the outcome of negligence on the part of the traders.

    Mr the biggest and most dangerous problem that Ghana is going to face and break down is partisan tribal politics. We as a society it is difficult to understand how we think and do things to make Ghana a better place.

  • adanko 8 years ago

    This is the most useless statement a government worker can spew. A worker we use our taxes to pay. Only a mahama appointee will spew such garbbage of this magnitude and stay in office.

  • Arhin 8 years ago

    But is it job of the fire chief to decide who get assistance from government after all? Those traders should fight to push him out of his office. It's unethical

  • Nana Brenyah 8 years ago

    IT IS NOT THE WORK OF THE FIRE CHIEF TO DETERMINE WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR HELP. HIS JOB
    IS TO PUT OUT FIRES. THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH GHANA. PEOPLE TAKE ON DUTIES THAT IS NOT THEIRS.
