“Anytime it rains, this market becomes flooded and it is affecting business activities in the market.
“Sometimes, we have to wait for 2 hours before we can open our shops after a heavy downpour. The contractor and the KMA have failed to address our grievances,” some traders are quoted to have said. The chairman of the Kumasi Petty Traders Association Nana Akwasi Prempeh blamed the problem on the contractor of the market, adding that the leadership of his association would meet to determine the way forward after assessing the extent of the damage. The Kejetia market was not the only place that got flooded after the short period of rain within the Kumasi Central Business District. Reports say Adum, Roman Hill, Pampaso and Alaba also had their share of the flooding.
