Two market groups in the Central Region Concerned Assembly Members of Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly and Concerned Citizens of Cape Coast have threatened to embark on a massive demonstration in protest to the allocation of the Kotokuraba market space.
The groups have accused the Central Regional Minister, Kwamena Duncan, and Cape Coast Municipal Chief Executive Ernest Arthur of denying original occupants space in the market and are allocating the stalls to party cronies after the facility was renovated.
Â
They have also accused the committee, set up by the regional minister and MCE to distribute the market stalls, of siphoning monies from market queens before allocating them selling space.
Â
Speaking at a press conference at the Kotokuraba Market in Cape Coast on Monday 17 July, the General Secretary of the concerned Assembly Members, Justice George Arthur, said 60 original occupants have been removed by authorities and replaced with NPP members.
Â
Mr. Arthur stated that they will take the matter to court as well as organize  series of demonstrations in Cape Coast if their concerns are not addressed before Tuesday, 18 July 2017.
