If there is anything to go by there is at least a smaller or major market in almost all the district, municipal or metropolitan Capitals in the Central Region except Ekumfi.
At least the Capital of Mfantseman has Saltpond Market, Adjumako Enyan Essiam has Adjumako, Cape Coast, Asikuma and so forth.
What can we say of Ekumfi ?
The supposed Essuehyia market can't even house or generate any proper marketing.
When you go to Mankessim there are close to 5 different taxi stations that transport passengers to and fro Ekumfi. This means Ekumfi people do most of their trading in Mankessim, leaving out their own.
One may ask, so what's the way forward. It's simple.
The Assembly has to be intentional in investing and not just propagate policies which doesn't see the light of day. The Assembly keep complaining of low internal generated funds and this can be solved when pragmatic steps are taken.
Stakeholders like Chiefs, businessmen and women, Assembly members and others have to get involve. This will be the only way to grow the market situation in Ekumfi.
This structure you see need to be fixed and encourage traders to bring in goods where others will also go there to purchase.
While we wait for a bigger market, let promote our community market ot bring in revenue.
