The Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah, has described the Kumasi Kejetia project, constructed under John Mahama’s administration, as an “ill-thought project.”
He stated that the project did not solve any issues but instead contributed to congestion in Kumasi.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with GHone TV in his office on Friday 15th November 2024 he said”
“So, I’m saying this Kejetia project is ill-thought and because it causes needless vehicular traffic because it didn’t include adequate space for car parking. That’s why Adum has become a no-go area during peak hours,” he said.
He added that, to avoid the current problems caused by the Kejetia “Dubai” project, the design of the Central Market project, or Kejetia Phase Two, has been modified.
He explained that the ongoing Central Market project would not create congestion.
“I will say it any day, any time, that the Kumasi Kejetia market is a poor investment that has created huge problems in the region,” Simon Osei Mensah emphasized.
