Member of Parliament for Kumawu, Ernest Yaw Anim, has commiserated with the families of tragic road accident that claimed the lives of four persons, injuring five others, at Kumawu on Saturday January 17, 2026.
The accident involving a construction truck transporting sand from Abotanso to a project site in Kumawu, lost control and crashed into a hairdressing saloon and a storey building resulting in the loss of lives, causing extensive damage to properties.
Mr Anim, who is also the chairman of Parliament’s Human Rights Committee, visited both the accident scene and the Hospital on Sunday morning to interact with victims.
He said he was devastated by the scale of the tragedy and explained that the visit was to personally assess the situation, interact with victims receiving treatment, and console the affected families during their moment of grief.
“I was deeply saddened to learn of this unfortunate incident.
The loss of lives is heartbreaking, and my thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved families as well as those battling for their lives in hospital,” the MP stated.
He extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased and wished the injured victims a speedy and full recovery.
Mr. Anim assured the families that they were not alone and pledged his unwavering support to them throughout this difficult period.
As part of efforts to mobilise assistance for the victims, the Kumawu MP made a passionate appeal to the government, benevolent individuals, corporate institutions, faith-based organisations and the public, to come to the aid of the affected families.
He noted that support in the form of financial assistance, medical care, and emotional encouragement would go a long way to ease the burden on those affected.
Mr Anim called on residents of the constituency and Ghanaians at large to demonstrate compassion and solidarity in response to the tragedy.
He emphasised the importance of unity in moments of crisis and pledged to continue working closely with traditional authorities, local leaders, and relevant stakeholders to ensure that the affected families receive the necessary support.
