Cheddar visits Kantamanto market fire victims

Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar of the New Force movement, visited traders at the Kantamanto market on Friday, January 3, 2024, following a fierce fire that recently tore down the market.

He made a generous donation of GH¢50,000 to the traders who were counting their losses after the fire incident.

The aggrieved trader contended that these two political parties would have been the first to visit them if it were about votes.

However, during a tough period like this, when their presence and support are needed, they are nowhere to be found.
