A market constructed to boost economic activities and bring relief to traders at Kwaso in the Ejisu Municipality of Ashanti Region has been left unoccupied, four years after its completion.
The GHC890,000 facility remains empty whilst traders continue to ply their trading activities by the roadside. "Some of us used to occupy the market but upon realizing that those by the roadside were attracting almost all the customers, we decided to join them too.
The only way to force us back to the market is when the local authorities put in place measures to stop anyone from trading by the roadside.
That way, all the customers will be left with no choice than to come inside the market and buy stuff", Juliet Nsiah, a trader, proposed.
