  "summary": "The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has refuted claims that Konkomba traders were excluded from the consultation process for the Agbogbloshie 24-hour market project. The AMA asserts that it has engaged affected groups and individuals for over three months, including the Yam Market, Nzema Market, and Cargo Station leadership, to address concerns over the project's design, land requirements, and continuity of business activities. The AMA clarified that its consultations began on July 9, 2026, and included meetings with the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, Ga Traditional Council, and traders at Agbogbloshie. The assembly also disclosed that representatives participating in the stakeholder engagements received transportation allowances of not less than GH¢3,000 per meeting.",
