Work on the new Abinkyi market where traders at the Race Course Market will be relocated to is due for completion two weeks ahead of time.<\/p>\n
The 37 pavilion facility will accommodate 7,500 traders, each of whom will occupy either a store or a shed.<\/p>\n
The relocation is to make way for the Sun City project being spearheaded by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu the second.<\/p>\n
Officials of T&K Enterprise, executors of the project say work is about 80 per cent complete.<\/p>\n
Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Kwaku Agyemang-Mensah, and City Mayor, Samuel Sarpong, paid a working visit to acquaint themselves with progress of work on Monday.<\/p>\n
Managing Director of T&K Enterprise, Thomas Kwabena Braimah told journalists what is left is just finishing touches.<\/p>\n
He believes the market is ready for occupation whilst the rest of the work is completed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are only left with pavement blocks that would be used for a parking lot area and the toilet facility is also in place.<\/p>\n
“And definitely when you are working on a project of this nature, you cannot complete everything at once,” he said.<\/p>\n
According to him, workers of the company would continue towork at night to ensure the project is completed on time.<\/p>\n
Traders at the Race Course market are reluctant to move to Abinkyi Market and other satellite markets designated for them despite last month\u2019s expiry of a one year deadline issued to them by the city authority.<\/p>\n
Chairperson of the Market Queens Association, Nana Akua Bakomah, however pleads with the Regional Coordinating Council to help get the traders out of the Race Course land.<\/p>\n
The regional Minister warned that those who drag their feet do so at their own risk.<\/p>\n
According to him, government will ensure the traders relocate from the Race Course market so that the project on the land can commence.<\/p>\n
