Despite the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) loss in the 2024 General Elections, Hon. Irene Naa Torshie Addo, former MP for Tema West Constituency and Immediate Past Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), has reiterated the party’s commitment to the development of the Ashanti Region.
Speaking after donating GHS 100,000 to traders affected by a fire at the Adum Market in Kumasi, she emphasized the party’s dedication to supporting the people.
The donation, made through the ReneAddo Foundation, aims to alleviate the suffering of the market traders who lost their goods and stalls in the March 21 fire incident.
Naa Torshie was accompanied by former Deputy Minister for Local Government, Hon. Collins Ntim; CEO of Georgia Hotel, Madam Georgina Konadu Adepa Kusi; and executives from the Subin Constituency and the Ashanti Regional branch of the NPP.
“Several donations received from the party to all affected traders at Adum railway Market showcase NPP’s love for them irrespective of their political affiliations,” she stated during the presentation.
Naa Torshie, a well-known philanthropist and legal practitioner, pledged continued support to the victims beyond financial aid.
She promised to return and organize educational sessions on the importance of business insurance.
She also urged traders to prioritize electrical safety in market areas, warning against the use of unregulated wiring extensions, which can lead to circuit overloads and fires.
Her donation and visit formed part of the NPP’s ongoing efforts to help victims of the tragedy recover and rebuild their businesses
