The Minister for Tourism Designate Hon. Zita Okaikoi says it is no longer accidental or coincidental the numerous fire outbreaks occurring in the country and strongly believes there is a hidden hand engineering some of these fire outbreaks that engulfed some key sectors of the country.“I strongly suspect foul play. It is no longer an accident or a coincidence. It can no longer be a coincidence that almost every day there is one fire or the other, I am ruling out coincidence at this stage because it is no longer a coincidence that we are having these fire outbreaks,” she said.Fire gutted the store house for the Ministry of Information a few minutes after 1pm on Wednesday, February 17.The fire destroyed bails of material to be sewn into the national flag.This is the second time in less than a year that the Information Ministry has been hit by a fire outbreak.It also follows the recent fire outbreaks that gutted portions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office complex, the loading section of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), the Kumasi Central Market, the Energy Ministry and quite recently the Ridge residence of the former President, Jerry John Rawlings on Valentine’s Day, February 14th.But these rampant fire outbreaks, according to the out-going Minister of Information, cannot be said to be natural. As a result, she revealed, officials of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) and the National Security have been invited to conduct investigations to unravel the actual cause of this afternoon's fire outbreak that gutted the store room of the Information Ministry.“We have called in the BNI and the National Security to come and take the first samples for whatever investigations they want to carry out because we do not want to leave any stone unturned,” She added in an interview with Citifm.
