Charles Owusu, a member of the Progressive People's Party, has expressed disappointment in the leadership of the country for the poor siting of gas stations in the nation.
Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', Charles Owusu wondered why State authorities overlook possible dangers associated with this phenomenon.
He explained that siting gas stations in residential areas and other places which poses a threat to lives is appalling and may endanger several lives in the offing.
He was commenting on the gas explosion that occurred at Trade Fair in Labadi yesterday, claiming about five lives and leaving several people in critical condition.
Charles Owusu commiserated with the families of the victims but hoped the authorities of the State would address the concerns of the citizenry regarding the issue.

Even in America gas stations are sited in residential areas. The issue is not necessarily where these service stations are situated but more of safety measures being in place and being adhered to. If we site gas stations in the middle-of-nowhere and safety isn't in place, there will still be accidents.
