Some of the traders expressed their gratitude to Kennedy Agyapong for pledging to provide the huge assistance to them. However, they advised the politician against giving the money to their association leaders.

According to the traders, their association leaders could not be trusted with the huge money donation and that the money should rather be used to tackle other problems they encounter in the Kantamanto market.

Addressing the traders' concerns, Kennedy Agyapong noted that he would consult the Member of Parliament for the Yapei Kusawgu constituency and the Minister of Energy and Petroleum, John Abdulai Jinapor and get them multiple electricity poles to provide them with light at the market.

The fire incident at the Kantamanto market caused huge devastation for many traders, with about 100 shops getting destroyed.

New Force Movement leader Nana Kwame Bediako, former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, businessmen Dr Osei Kwame Despite and Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong were among the numerous distinguished personalities who made significant donations to the market fire victims to support their rebuilding efforts.
