The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has informed the general public that no fees are charged for the issuance of attestation letters related to fire and emergency incidents.
This clarification follows the recent fire at Kantamanto Market, which destroyed over 100 shops and displaced many traders.
In a press statement released on January 9, 2025, the GNFS stated that they have received reports that some victims of the fire are being charged fees for attestation letters at the Accra City Fire Station.
The statement emphasized that this act is unauthorized, and the public is advised not to pay for any attestation letter.
The GNFS assured the public that an investigation is ongoing, and any officer found guilty of this misconduct will be dealt with in accordance with the GNFS disciplinary code.
The statement further added that the GNFS remains committed to its mandate of serving the citizens with integrity and professionalism.
