It has emerged that the sister of Alan John Kyerematen, the Deputy Minister designate for Trade was among the injured in a gas explosion that occurred last year near the Ghana International Trade Fair Centre at La in Accra.

The President indicated that his Trade Minister designate, Mr Kyerematen was absent because his sister's conditioned had worsened and he was currently by her side.

Twelve persons including Mr Kyerematen's sister survived the accident but sustained various degrees of injuries.

Some of the survivors of the Glory Oil Gas station explosion are still on admission at the La General Hospital and 37 Military Hospital in Accra.
