The MCE in an exclusive interview with Ghanadistricts.com revealed plans to give a major facelift to the over 50 years Kade Market with the addition of a number of modern structures to meet the current trend of life and provide the needed comfort for traders.

According to the MCE, with a target of 1000 new market stalls, the assembly has already commenced the first phase of 400 unit of stalls which he performed sod cutting for recently. This project which is expected for completion in six months will go alongside the construction another structure of a 2-story, 32-unit stores for the market.

Other structures expected to be built in the market, he noted include a crèche. “We are planning to build a complex crèche facility to make life convenient for the market women especially those with children, as they will have a readily available place close to their place of work to keep their children. There the children will be safe and secured while they also benefit from formal education”, he added.

It is also important to think of the safety of their wares, hence the assembly is to build a large storage facility where traders can keep their wares under very secured environment.

The MCE said these works in the market are important as a way of maintaining the market and prevent further decay, expand to meet growing population and make the market befitting the status of a municipality which they have become.

He believes their quest for economic improvement must also involves putting up suitable places for people to do business particularly at a time the government is hoping to improve agriculture production.
