Traders at the Adenta Market have raised concerns over the government’s plan to construct a new 24-hour market, saying the project could result in the neglect of the existing facility.
The traders questioned the decision to invest in a new market when the current facility, which accommodates hundreds of traders, could instead be renovated and upgraded.
Speaking to Adom News, some of the traders noted that the existing Adenta Market was constructed by the government through the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) under the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration.
They argued that the facility continues to serve traders and residents in the area and therefore needs improvement rather than replacement.
The traders appealed to the government to reconsider the new project and channel resources into upgrading the existing market to create a better and more conducive trading environment.
They also called for meaningful consultations with traders and other stakeholders before any decision is taken on the proposed 24-hour market.
According to them, engaging the affected traders would help address their concerns and ensure that the existing facility is not left to deteriorate.
The proposed project has therefore raised questions among traders about the future of the current Adenta Market and whether the new facility is intended to complement or eventually replace it.
