The leadership of trader groups in the Ashanti Region is demanding clarity from the government on how it plans to fund and complete Phase Two of the Kejetia Market after the project was listed among stalled developments in the 2025 Budget Statement.
The traders insist that the Finance Ministry must provide specific allocations and timelines to ensure the project's completion so it can serve its intended purpose.
The project was halted due to the previous administration's Debt Restructuring Program, leaving several traders displaced.
Many affected traders refused to relocate to the Racecourse and Afia Kobi Market (Abinkyi Market), the designated satellite markets.
