E/R: KLO-AGOGO TRADERS EXPRESS WORRY OVER POOR STATE OF MARKET

Traders at Klo- Agogo Market in the Yilo Krobo Municipality of the Eastern Region of Ghana have expressed much worry about the bad state of the market over the years which is affecting the progress of their businesses.

According to the traders, due to the deplorable condition of the market, customers find it difficult to access it especially when it rains, making business transactions very poor. The situation they say is really impacting negatively on the socio economic progress of the area.

The Klo-Agogo Market is the biggest market in the Yilo Krobo Municipality and one of the well patronized market centres in the country as several people from the length and breath of the Region throng to the market twice every week.

All kinds of food stuffs from the surrounding villages are brought to the market on large quantities to help meet the food demand of the Urban areas and also raise significant amount of revenue for the Yilo Krobo Municipal Assembly.

Despite all the significant revenue contributions from the market to the Assembly over the years, the market has not seen any facelift and traders continue to operate in very inhumane environment.




It is for this reason that, the traders in an interview with Nenebi Ayertey, Rite fm, has appealed to the government to intervene and address the situation.





The Assembly Member of Agogo Electoral area, Halord Kumah kofi, who is popularly known as' Yesu Mo, described the situation as unbearable and several appeals to get the authorities address the situation has not yielded any results.
