Accra Mayor Michael Kpakpo Allotey has dismissed claims that the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) is deliberately targeting the Konkomba community for a planned 24-hour market construction. Speaking on JoyFM’s Top Story, Mr Allotey denied the allegations, stating that the Assembly has engaged with Konkomba and other community leaders prior to the redevelopment.
He emphasized that the AMA had visited the market multiple times, holding numerous meetings with traders before the project began. Allotey clarified that the initiative aimed to enhance the traders' trading conditions rather than demolish the Konkomba market. He assured the community that the construction would improve their trading environment, countering accusations by the NPP Minority in Parliament that the Assembly had marked shops and residences for demolition.
