An NPP communicator, Richard Asante Yeboah has accused the Accra mayor, Alfred Oko Vanderpujue of acting like German Adolph Hitler, after his comments just after the fire outbreak at Kantamanto. According to him this is an act of wickedness and an inhumane statement Alfred Oko Vanderpuije had to make after Kantamanto got burnt, adding that his attitude can only be attributed to Adolph Hitler of Germany who does not feel for others when they are in pain. He said on Okay FM that as people are crying and feeling restless with what has happened to them, the mayor�s main concern is how he is going to build an ultramodern market while the cause of the fire outbreak remains unknown. �At the moment people are beginning to liken Alfred Oko Vanderpuije to Adolph Hitler of Germany and his tactics, and if not then he is been selective in his line of duties,� Richard Asante Yeboah said. He stated that what the mayor should have first done in this case was to first unravel the cause of the fire outbreak in order to find a lasting solution to the fire problems in the country to avoid future happenings. He further said that investigations into the cause has not been established but the land has been cleared and prepared for the construction of a new market; adding that the contractors have destroyed the evidence of the cause of the fire. He again said that another inhumane way of dealing with Ghanaians who were affected in the Kantamanto fire outbreak is driving them out of the land they have acquired legally from the Ghana Railways Authority, which has leased the land for 50 years. He therefore endorsed the minds of some Ghanaians that the mindset of the mayor in this act against the affected people really portrays him to have the character of Adolph Hitler because he is wicked and insensitive to the plight of the traders. He however said that this is the moment the traders were expecting him to find a way to heal their pain; stressing that this is not the time to inflict more pain to those who have lost their business capital, as well as those who do not know how to settle the loans they took from the banks.
