On a working visit to the Krofrom Market in the Ashanti Region, Alan Kyerematen, leader of the Afrafranto Movement, expressed his deep disappointment over the market's 17-year abandonment.
Originally initiated under former President John Agyekum Kufuor, the project was designed to serve the Krofrom community and neighboring areas such as Aboabo, Ashanti New Town, and Asawase.
Yet, after eight years of NDC governance and another eight years under the NPP, the market remains a dilapidated shadow of its intended purpose. "I am deeply saddened that such a project has been neglected for 17 years," Alan Kyerematen lamented. "This is what the duopolistic winner-takes-all system has done to this country.
There are so many projects that have been abandoned to rot in the name of political rivalry between the NDC and NPP.
