Social News Kumasi Central Market project delay worsens traders’ hardship

TUE, 23 SEP 2025

Some traders at the Kumasi Central Market have lamented the severe challenges they face as a result of the delay in completing the Kejetia Phase Two project.

According to them, the lack of proper infrastructure has forced many to carry out their trading activities along the roadside, a situation they describe as both unsafe and unproductive.

The traders explained that the poor trading conditions have significantly affected their businesses, making it difficult to earn enough income to support their families.

In an interview with Otec News on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, they stressed that working by the roadside exposes them to constant danger.

Others raised concerns about the difficulties they endure during the rainy season, citing today’s heavy morning rainfall as an example.

They revealed that flooding, coupled with moving vehicles, has destroyed goods and in some cases led to the loss of lives, leaving many families devastated.

The traders are therefore appealing to government to expedite work on the Kejetia Phase Two project.

They believe the timely completion of the market will provide safer and more conducive spaces for business, helping them protect their lives, goods, and livelihoods.
