Sack Kumasi mayor; he s incompetent, insensitive – Traders beg Akufo-Addo

Aggrieved traders on pavements up against Kumasi Mayor

+ A group of traders operating along the pavements in the central business district of Kumasi are up against the Metropolitan Assembly over what they describe as gross disrespect and breach of agreement. The United Petty Traders Association claims members have come under attacks and harassment by city guards despite an agreement with the KMA. The group has petitioned the Ashanti Regional Minister over the matter.

Traders beg Nana Addo to sack incompetent Kumasi mayor

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.
