Minister says NDC’s Kejetia Market is 'attractive outside, dysfunctional inside'

He identified the structure as the primary issue affecting the Kumasi Central Business Area, linking the persistent congestion in Kumasi's business district to the market's design.

The Kejetia Market project was initiated by the NDC during President John Dramani Mahama's tenure, with Phase I of the project commencing around 2015.

The aim was to modernise Kumasi's central business district and improve infrastructure for traders.

The project sought to create a safer, more organised space for commercial activities and to address problems such as congestion and poor sanitation in the old Kejetia and Central Market areas.
