ASHANTI RCC WARNS TRADERS
The Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council,
RCC, has observed with grave concern in recent times, the increasing trend of
trading and hawking at unauthorized locations in the region.
The situation is
not only creating chaotic scenes and piles of refuse at such places, but also
endangering the lives of the traders, hawkers and members of the general
public.
A statement signed and issued by the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon
Osei Mensah, who doubles as Chairman of the RCC, has subsequently directed that,
with immediate effect, no trading or hawking activities will be allowed in and
around roundabouts, footbridges and road intersections across the region.
The
Statement therefore asked all such traders and hawkers to relocate to designated markets located within
the region and warned that anyone who flouts the directive would have himself
or herself to blame for the consequences.
It expressed the hope that all would
comply with the decision and avoid any confrontation while supporting the
authorities to instil sanity in the Kumasi metropolis in particular and the
region at large.
