According to them, they have no marketplace to trade but the mayor has consistently evicted them from the pavements of the Central Business District (CBD) without providing them with a place to sell.
Their reaction comes after the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) claims it has allocated the Abinkyi and Race Course markets as temporary trading sites to traders from the Kumasi Central Market.
The move is to allow for the redevelopment of the central market to continue and per the arrangement, 4,000 second-hand clothing sellers and 3,500 shop owners would be relocated to the Abinkyi Market while 1,000 fish sellers and other traders would be moved to the Race Course.
