Adum Blue Light fire victims to stage "Y'adi Yɛ Sika Demo", to demand accountability on donations
Adum Blue Light fire victims are planning to stage a demonstration to demand accountability on donations received after the incident. The traders, whose shops were destroyed in the fire, allege their leaders have failed to account for the support received from individuals and organizations. Some traders allege lack of transparency in the management of the funds, insisting that the substantial donations have not translated into meaningful development.
The traders question, "Most of the affected shops were rebuilt by the owners themselves. Aside from that, only drainage works have been done. There is no real development here, and when it rains, the situation becomes unbearable. So where is the money?" The demonstration is dubbed "Y'adi Yɛ Sika," meaning "we our money has been abused." Some traders noted that the only visible project has been the construction of drains.
Kwaku Nsiah, organizer of the affected traders at Blue Light, accused the leadership of failing to be transparent and called for immediate accountability. Kwaku Nsiah said, "We are giving them a one-week ultimatum to render a full account to us because we are suffering. There is no support and no visible development here." The traders are giving their leaders a one-week ultimatum to account for donations received.
