-

The Deputy Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs, Rita Naa Odoley Sowah, alongside the Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya, Elikplim Akurugu, and a resource mobilization team, have embarked on a fact-finding mission at the Dome Market.

The aim was to assess the current condition of the market and explore the possibilities of reconstruction or the establishment of a new facility.

Following the inspection, the Deputy Minister addressed the traders, assuring them that the current state of the market would be presented to the Minister for further action.

“Given the poor condition of the market, we will make sure the necessary steps are taken to address the situation,” she stated, emphasizing the ministry’s commitment to improving the market for the benefit of both traders and the community.

This visit is part of the Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs Ministry’s broader initiative to enhance market conditions across the country.

By improving the infrastructure of markets like Dome Market, the government hopes to reduce sanitation risks, such as the spread of cholera, and improve the overall livelihoods of traders and potential fire outbreak.

The Queen Mother for Dome Market traders, Eveline Abena Sibea, also pledged the traders’ support for the Ministry’s efforts.

“We are committed to working together to develop and improve our market,” she said, expressing optimism that the partnership would bring positive change to the market and its surroundings.
