  "summary": "The Ghanaian government and the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) have started discussions with stakeholders to complete the Kejetia Phase II project. The project, which began with a €248 million contract in December 2018, has stalled, leaving traders operating from temporary locations.\n\nAccording to MyJoyOnline Ghana, the project aims to add thousands of trading spaces and facilities to the existing Kejetia complex, including over 3,760 counter shops, 6,000 lockable shops, and a transport terminal for 600 vehicles. The initial completion period was 48 months.\n\nThe KMA is working to secure funding to revive the project, with contractors expected to return in October 2026, as reported by Starr FM. The Kumasi Mayor, Richard Ofori Agyemang Boadi, stated that significant resources are required to complete the project.",
