Both traders and hawkers in and around the Takoradi Central Market are operating in a very hazardous condition which poses serious threat to the health of unsuspecting consumers.
This is due to the unauthorised extensions that have been made in the market. The market is so crowded and the gutters are very dirty. Others who did not get space in the market are selling on the huge drains outside.
Interestingly, the Apremudo and Sekondi markets which were supposed to be alternative market places for the metropolis is actually under-utilised by traders.
A visit to the central business area indicated that the Sekondi/Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly appears to be focusing on revenue mobilisation without a corresponding effort at providing infrastructure.
The description of the sanitation situation in the market currently is not the best to serve as a trading area for the public to buy foodstuffs for consumption.
