Fire Committee to submit report soon
Sekondi, April 7, GNA - The 11-member committee established
by the Western Regional Coordinating Council to investigate
the recent fire outbreak at the Takoradi Central Market
would submit its report by the end of next week.
Mr. John Latse, Public Relations Officer of the Shama-Ahanta
East Metropolitan Assembly (SAEMA), told the Ghana News
Agency (GNA) in an interview that the assembly would
continue to keep out hawkers in and around the market to
ensure free vehicular movement.
He said the assembly is putting up permanent structures at
the Apremdo Market for used cloths and shoe sellers from
Takoradi Central Market who would be re-settled there.
Mr. Latse said the assembly originally planned to move to
the Apremdo Market after the celebration of the country's
Golden Jubilee but the dealers appealed to the assembly to
provide them with permanent structures first.
He said the assembly has reclaimed a "depressed" land at
Apremdo at the cost of 20 million cedis for construction of
permanent structures for shoe dealers.
Mr. Latse said stalls have been built for shoe dealers and a
warehouse is under construction at the market.
He said the re-settlement of cloths and shoe dealers at the
Apremdo Market would help decongest Takoradi Central Market
because they their goods are well patronized.
