Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, has donated GHC5,000 to each household affected by the tragic explosion at Odumase, near Konongo in the Asante Akyem Central Municipality.
The March 6 blast, triggered by a fire in a shop selling dynamites and other explosives used by local miners, claimed three lives and injured several others. Buildings were also destroyed in the powerful explosion.
While many injured victims, including firefighters, have been treated and discharged, five remain hospitalized.
Medical officials are considering transferring two critically injured patients to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for advanced care.
During his visit to the scene, Dr. Amoakohene assured the public of ongoing investigations and promised that those responsible for the illegal sale of explosives would face the law.
