Market Woman Happy About Security

Nana Bosoma Market

Some traders at the Sunyani Central Market have expressed their excitement over the measures being put in place by the Ghana National Fire Service to provide 24-hour security for the market to avoid any fires.

According to them, they have been worried about the recent fires at the various markets in the country's markets. The traders said they will give their maximum support to the officers who will be stationed at the market to guard there.

“We are really excited about the step being taken by GNFS and we will do everything they ask of us because our entire livelihood is here”, one woman declared.

One woman, who gave her name as Paulina, called on the officers to concentrate more on the various chop bars at the market and also educate the people about their presence so as not to scare the market women and their buyers.

Madam Paulina believed the step being taking by the fire service will go a long to help them avoid any future fires.

The women also called on the taskforce and the Municipal Assembly to help move the market woman who  are selling on the road leading to the market so that in case of any occurrence the fire officers can move quickly to the market to save the situation.

Meanwhile, the Brong Ahafo Regional Communication Director of the NPP, Kofi Boateng, has called on the Ghana National Fire Service to be efficient so that the President will not bring any officials from outside the country to investigate fires in the country.

He accused GNFS of not filling their vehicles with water thereby going to places of fires without water and leaving the people stranded whiles they watch their things burn.

“Make sure your fire tenders are working properly and fill the tanks so that you can put out fires when you are called that there is fire at any place”, he added.
