Traders at the bustling Kejetia-Central Market in the Kumasi are abuzz with excitement as construction activities for phase two of the market’s redevelopment project have resumed after a prolonged halt.
The project, which initially kicked off in 2022 but was abruptly halted in early 2023 due to financial constraints, has now been reignited, much to the delight of the local traders.
Eager to see the project through to completion, the traders are calling on the government to expedite the process, wary of potential political promises tied to the upcoming general elections.
Having voiced their concerns and even threatened demonstrations to push for the project’s revival, the traders are relieved to witness progress once again.
Despite their elation, there remains a sense of apprehension regarding the timeline for completion, with contractors yet to provide a clear schedule.
In light of this uncertainty, the traders are urging swift action from the authorities to ensure the timely and successful conclusion of the redevelopment project.
