Choicenewsonline Your Choice Is Here
We, the Kumasi Kejetia Queen Mothers Association, strongly oppose the planned closure of the Kejetia market on election day, December 7, 2024.
This decision follows a request from Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), during a meeting with us at the Kumasi Culture Centre, which we vehemently rejected.
Despite our initial rejection, we have learned that the Kumasi Mayor, Hon. Samuel Pyne, has instructed the market management to proceed with the closure.
We urge the market management to reconsider this decision, considering its detrimental effects on our businesses, especially given the current economic situation and the fact that Friday, December 6, 2024, is a holiday.
As the Market Queen Mothers, we stand against this decision and will fiercely resist any attempt to shut down the market.
We call on the market management to prioritize the welfare of traders and rescind the decision.
Signed
Nana Wiafe
(Vice Chairman, Kejetia, Central Market and Abinkyi Market)
