Government slammed for failing to complete construction of Santasi Market - Adomonline.com

NDC Parliamentary Candidate for Nhyiaeso, Faustina Dery Bayor, has chided the government for failing to complete the redevelopment of the Santasi Market in Kumasi within the stipulated time.

At a press briefing with the market women bemoaned the adverse impact of the stalled construction on their trading and wellbeing.

Sod cutting for the redevelopment of the Santasi Market was held on May 12, 2022, with an expected 24month completion period.

The market has weeds grown all over, becoming a den for rodents and reptiles.

Some market women who spoke with Adom News expressed their displeasure over the current state of the market and the risk involved in trading at the temporary place given to them.

The market is the only major trading place serving the people of Santasi, Fankyenbra, TUC, Anyinam, and surrounding communities.

The modern market project is designed to be fitted with solar power, a 20-seater KVIP, a Police Station, a Fire Post, a Pharmacy, Creche, among other facilities to make business activities thrive and boost the socioeconomic development of the area.
