Gov’t 24-Hour Economy markets programme is an afterthought – Minority

The Minority in Parliament has criticised the government’s implementation of the 24-Hour Economy Market Programme, describing it as an “afterthought” that lacks proper planning and does not adequately respond to the needs of local communities.

Ranking Member of Parliament’s Local Government Committee, Francis Asenso-Boakye, who addressed the media on behalf of the Minority, said the programme appears to be disconnected from the development priorities of several districts.

Mr Asenso-Boakye said the government must explain the needs assessments, feasibility studies and local development plans guiding the projects.
