The Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor, has assured market women in Kasoa of renewed efforts to address their pressing concerns and improve trading conditions in the constituency.
The MP met with leaders of 14 market women’s associations at the Old Kasoa Market on Thursday, October 2, in a heavily attended engagement that focused on listening to concerns, exploring solutions, and reviewing progress on earlier promises.
Speaking to the media after the event, Madam Okunor said the engagement was part of her broader vision to build a stronger and more progressive Kasoa.
“The market women are the ones who look after our markets, so when there are issues, they are in the best position to raise them with us.
“They have expressed some concerns, which I have assured them will be addressed by December. These are not challenges beyond us, and I am committed to resolving them,” she noted.
The MP outlined a number of development projects already underway and new initiatives planned for the constituency.
These include the construction of new schools, with one allocated to the Awutu Prisons, where land has been provided for a major educational facility. She also disclosed that Kasoa would benefit from additional secondary and tertiary institutions, alongside the modernisation of the central market.
“We will develop our market, modernize it, and also extend the 24-hour economy initiative to Kasoa,” she said, adding that architectural designs for the project were being finalised at the Flagstaff House.
Madam Okunor further revealed that she had committed herself to completing six major “legacy projects” left unfinished by previous administrations. These include bungalows, school structures, and sanitation facilities.
Traders at the meeting expressed appreciation for the MP’s efforts so far, but also highlighted challenges they still face in the market environment. Many welcomed her assurance of practical solutions and praised the dialogue as a step towards unity and progress.
The engagement ended on a hopeful note, with both the MP and the traders pledging to work together to strengthen Kasoa’s market economy and community development.
