The Kejetia Market may soon be swallowed by waste as one of its two spacious waste rooms is being converted into shops for commercial activities by alleged supporters of the NDC.
A video spotted by Orange FM shows that the space is being transformed into shopping structures.
The two waste rooms, one located near the PZ side and the other facing the Achamfour Market, are crucial for managing waste at the market.
Since the NDC took power, the Achamfour waste room has reportedly been closed for cleaning and repairs, leading to questions from market operators about the prolonged timeline for these actions.
As waste continues to accumulate, it has become essential to channel it into the waste room for temporary storage before it is collected at night.
However, waste collectors and cleaning staff have been forced to convey the waste to the PZ side instead, which has been a source of frustration.
Upon investigation by members of the traders’ unions, it was discovered that the Achamfour waste room is not being repaired as claimed, but is instead being repurposed for shops.
This revelation has sparked concern among stakeholders at the market.
Traders who spoke to Orange FM expressed that this situation is troubling and requires immediate attention from the city authorities, particularly the Kumasi Mayor, Richard Ofori Agyemang Boadi.
