Kumasi Central Market traders invade KMA offices

By Philip Otuo,

Some traders of the Central market in the Ashanti regional capital Kumasi, have invaded the premises of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), Starr News' Isaac Bediako Justice has reported.

The traders, according to Bediako, are protesting the planned demolition of structures at the market for a reconstruction of the facility.

The angry traders are chanting war songs and threatening to resist the demolition exercise.

Bediako reports that their leaders are currently in a closed door meeting with the KMA boss Kojo Bonsu and other executives of the assembly.

The KMA has tried on several occasions to allay the fears of the shop owners, including registering them, so that they would be the first to be considered after the reconstruction of the market, but to no avail.
