The Kumasi City Market Traders Union have distanced itself from a court injunction set on the redevelopment of the Central Market project by ‘self-seeking individuals’ of the Union.

They have emphatically stated that despite the unfair management of their relocation to the racecourse and Afia Kobi Market at Abinkyi, they support the improvement of the central market and “dissociate themselves from the disgruntled traders who have proceeded to court to halt the process.”

The Union which involves Ghana Made Traders Association, earring sellers, sandals and shoe sellers, cooking utensils sellers on Monday, March 22, 2021, held a press conference to reveal their progression with the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly prior to their removal.

Addressing the media was the Chairman of the Utensil Sellers Association, Mr Kyei Moses who told that an agreement was established at a meeting, with the KMA Mayor, Honourable Osei Assibey Antwi to help the Kumasi City Traders Union through financial support to develop their new place of relocation.

He told that whiles “we decided to see their lawyers to help us get a well-documented agreement so that in future we will not be short-changed should the redevelopment project be completed, we heard and got to know some self-seeking who as traders among us had proceeded to court in the name of the Kumasi City Traders Union.”

They have “emphatically and unequivocally” stated that they are not in support of what the traders are up to and are not acting in their favour neither are they acting upon their authority.
