US-based Ghanaian broadcast journalist Kevin Taylor has made a generous donation to the victims of the recent market fire in Techiman, Bono East Region.
The devastating fire, which occurred last Saturday, left many traders in distress.
Through his LoudSilence Television platform and in collaboration with EYES on the Ballot, Kevin Taylor donated ten solar street lights and a cash sum of GHS 100,000 to assist the affected traders.
The donation was facilitated by Comrade Elikem Kotoko, National Deputy Organizer of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), on behalf of Kevin Taylor.
In a message to the traders, Kevin Taylor emphasized the importance of insuring their goods to mitigate the impact of unforeseen events in the future.
He also called for a thorough investigation into the cause of the fire by the Ghana National Fire Service and the Ghana Police Service, stressing that perpetrators must be held accountable if arson is determined.
A representative from the Regional Chief Fire Officer shared crucial safety advice, urging market traders to avoid unsafe practices that can lead to fires. These include turning shops into kitchens, leaving fires unattended, engaging in illegal electrical connections, and smoking within the market.
The Bono East Regional Coordinating Director, Mr. Joshua Basintale, received the donation on behalf of the victims and expressed profound gratitude to LoudSilence Television and EYES on the Ballot.
The market traders, led by Mr. Zuka Mohammed, also thanked Mr. Taylor for his kindness, with many singing songs of praise for his generosity.
This is not the first time Kevin Taylor has provided assistance to those in need. He previously donated to victims of the Akosombo Dam spillage in the Volta Region, demonstrating his commitment to supporting communities affected by disasters.
