This pronouncement follows fears
expressed by some of the affected traders that their leaders may not equally
disburse whatever monetary package coming from the Assembly, hence should be given
the monies directly.
The KMA boss visited the scene of
the fire outbreak at the popular Kumasi Central Market, and as part of his
visit conveyed the condolence of Government to the victims of the fire, and
assured them of the Government’s commitment to support them in whatever way
possible in the wake of this unfortunate incident.
He used the occasion to tour and
acquaint himself with developments within the market together with the Metro
City Engineer, Metro Waste Management Director among other officials from the Kumasi
Metropolitan Assembly.
At the end of his tour, the KMA
Mayor acknowledged the congestion in the Central Market adding that his
encounter to a large extent would aid the Assembly to come out appropriate
measures on how to address the problems of the Market
In a related development local
artisans and woodworkers are cashing in fast on the rebuilding of the shops and
stalls at the site of the fire outbreak. As part of measures announced on
Monday by the KMA, the affected traders have been given the go ahead to
reconstruct their shops bearing in mind plans by the Assembly to permanently
rebuild the Market in the not too distant-future.
This directive has been welcomed by
the affected traders who have immediately engaged the services of local
artisans to reconstruct their shops and stalls which were razed down by the
fire. Almost a day after the green light
was given, a visit to parts of the market shows a picture of erected skeletal structures
which would once more accomodate the traders for trading activities.
