“I am very saddened by this incident. It is devastating to see so many businesses destroyed. I want to assure the affected traders that I will do everything I can to help them get back on their feet,” she assured.
Meanwhile, Dr Agyeman-Rawlings called on the government to as a matter of urgency roll out relief packages that will cushion traders in times of such incidents.
