Kantamanto Market Executives Commit to Transparency Regarding Donations from Ghanaians to Traders

The Executives of Kantamanto Market have reassured traders that they will ensure full financial accountability once the ongoing reconstruction work at the market is completed. This reassurance comes in response to concerns raised by some traders who are seeking transparency regarding the cash donations made by several benevolent Ghanaians after the devastating fire that recently swept through Kantamanto Market.

In a bid to address these concerns and provide clarity, Michael Opong, Chairman of the Kantamanto Traders Association, spoke to a reporter, explaining that a nine-member committee has been established to manage and oversee the donations. Opong emphasized that there will be no misappropriation or embezzlement of the funds. He made it clear that the process will be conducted with the utmost integrity, and every effort will be made to ensure that the funds are used appropriately for the reconstruction efforts.

According to Opong, the nine-member committee has been specifically tasked with overseeing the entire rebuilding process and ensuring that the market is reconstructed to meet the needs of the traders. Their goal is to restore the market’s infrastructure in a way that allows traders to return to their businesses and resume normal operations as quickly as possible. This, in turn, will enable them to support their families and contribute to the local economy. Opong reassured traders that the committee is committed to making sure that all the required structures are put in place and that the market will be safe, functional, and conducive to business once the work is completed.

He further stated that the committee will be transparent and will regularly provide detailed financial accounts regarding how the donations are being utilized. This will include a breakdown of expenses related to the construction and any other costs associated with the rebuilding efforts. Opong expressed confidence that by providing clear and detailed financial reports, the committee will ensure that the entire process is carried out with the highest level of transparency and accountability.

A member of the nine-member committee also addressed the traders, urging them to exercise patience and trust the committee to deliver results. The committee member acknowledged that the rebuilding process is a significant undertaking and may take some time, but assured traders that their interests are at the heart of the entire project. He emphasized that the committee is fully aware of its responsibilities and is committed to using the donations wisely to ensure value for money during the reconstruction.

The committee member also made it clear that accountability is essential at every stage of the process. Once the reconstruction work is completed, the committee will provide a full and transparent report to the traders, outlining the financial details and the steps taken throughout the project. He emphasized that accountability is not only a legal obligation but also a moral one, and the committee is prepared to meet these expectations.

In addition, the committee member called on the traders to be cautious about rumors and misinformation circulating within the market community. He urged them to seek information directly from the committee, as it is the legitimate and official body overseeing the reconstruction. He advised traders to disregard any rumors that may arise from unofficial sources and instead rely on accurate, firsthand information from the committee.

The committee member also stressed that open communication between the traders and the committee will be key to ensuring a smooth and successful rebuilding process. Traders were encouraged to reach out with any concerns or questions they may have, as the committee is committed to addressing them in a timely and transparent manner. By fostering a spirit of collaboration and trust, both the committee and the traders can work together to ensure that the reconstruction of Kantamanto Market is a success.

The Kantamanto Market Executives have reassured traders that financial accountability will be a top priority as the market is rebuilt following the fire disaster. With a nine-member committee overseeing the donations and the reconstruction, traders can have confidence that the process will be transparent and that their concerns will be addressed. By working together and maintaining open lines of communication, the traders and the committee can ensure that the market is restored and that all involved benefit from the rebuilding efforts.
