Shoppers at the Krachi East Municipal market have called on the Municipal Assembly to construct a pavilion to protect their goods from the weather.
The patrons, who frequent the market to purchase essential items, are concerned about the lack of shelter for the goods, which are often exposed to the heavy rainfall and scorching sunshine.
According to the shoppers, the absence of a pavilion has resulted in significant losses for traders, who have seen their goods damaged or destroyed by the weather.
They urged the Municipal Assembly to take immediate action to address the issue and provide a safe and secure environment for trading.
Madam Sekyebia Mercy and many others shared stories of their struggle to protect their goods with the Ghana News Agency (GNA).
Madam Sekyebia recounted the repeated lose of her goods to the vagaries of the weather, resulting in significant financial losses.
“ I have lost count of how many times my goods have been destroyed by the rain and sun, it’s not just about the money, it’s about the effort and time I put into acquiring those goods; I’m appealing to Krachi East Municipal Assembly to please provide us with a shelter to protect our livelihoods,” Madam Sekyebia added.
