The Chairman of Eleven Steering Committee, Mr. Daniel Ankomah has cautioned politicians not to engage themselves in matters involving traders migration to the New Kejetia Market.

The executives of the market voiced that the inconveniencies incurred in some traders unwillingness to evacuate the Central Market for renovations to begin is not partisan but a situation of commerce.

“We need no politicians to engage in matters concerning Central Market traders. This is not partisan,” he said.

 “Quit headlining our issues for your political talk to enable us direct our people to leave for the prepared place. This is beyond NDC (National Democratic Congress) and NPP (New Patriotic Party). This is trade and we are advising them to put a stop to it,” he added.

He also pleaded to sellers who are still trading and have obtained their keys into stores at the Kejetia market to immediately evacuate.

According to the chairman of the Eleven Steering Committee, Mr. Daniel Ankomah, the market women were given the opportunity to sell at the Central market to engage their customers during the Christmas festivities yet they are still adamant of relocating to the designated place after the due time.
