As the wait continues for 'the report' and further wait for when its recommendations will be implemented, Ghana now experiences an annual ritual of infernos ravaging major markets. We are just halfway through the year 2021 and already some major markets have been hit with millions of cash and items being consumed by these fires. The shops that were gutted by the fire were mostly sandals manufacturing shops at the Kumasi Central Market. Eye witness account has it that the Central Market Fire started around 8:48 pm on Sunday while the shoemakers were still working. In the wee hours of Monday, May 10, 2021 an inferno broke out and consumed some shops in that market.
