Berekum, (Bono), Sept. 3, GNA – Traders at the Berekum Rawlings Market in the Bono Region have called on the Berekum East Municipal Assembly to allow them to trade in the market.
According to them, they were unable to access the market because of a pending court case, saying they were now selling along the streets, which was dangerous and inconvenience.
Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Berekum, Mama Alice, a trader expressed worry that the court case was over six years, and urged the Municipal Assembly to intervene.
Another trader Ohene Kumi, expressed the regret that some of the traders have been forced by the situation to sell at unauthorized places, creating nuisance in the municipality.
Sister Attaa, a market woman said: “Trading is our only source of economic-livelihood and the assembly must come to our aid and hand-over the market to us.”
