President John Dramani Mahama committed to finishing the stalled Krofrom Market construction by December 2026 during his recent visit to Kumasi traders. The announcement came Wednesday as part of his Ashanti Region appreciation tour, addressing long-standing concerns from local vendors. The commercial complex began development in 2007 under former President John Agyekum Kuffuor but remains incomplete after years of financial constraints. The deteriorating structure has transformed into a breeding ground for criminal activities and rodent infestations. Weeds have overtaken the abandoned site, creating safety hazards for the surrounding community.
Mahama emphasized that completing this project would reduce overcrowding in busy commercial districts like Adum and Kejetia. Market Queen Adwenehemaa Nana Sakina endorsed the presidential pledge, expressing confidence that Mahama represents the best hope for project completion. The multi-million-dollar facility continues attracting illicit behavior throughout both daylight and nighttime hours. Ashanti Region traders have escalated their demands for swift action on the dormant marketplace. The president highlighted his administration's dedication to revitalizing abandoned infrastructure projects across Ghana.
