The gesture was to lighten the burden of the affected traders Weeks ago, the Dome market which has been a subject of controversy over its reconstruction, was gutted down by fire, destroying properties worth over hundreds of thousands of Ghana Cedis. Several items belonging market sellers including their capital base were all destroyed in the process. Adwoa Safo who was on a working visit outside country had to cut short the visit, upon hearing the news, and on her return she hurriedly paid a visit to the scene of the disaster to ascertain for herself the impact of the fire disaster on the lives of the people.
