Activities at the Dome market in the Dome-Kwabenya constituency in Accra came to a standstill when the Vice President, Kwesi Amissah-Arthur inspected the progress of construction of stores and sheds for the traders.
He assured them that when the facilities are completed, they will be given the first option of acquiring and occupying them to do their business.
The Dome market is one of the biggest and busiest markets in the Dome-Kwabenya constituency.
For years it has been neglected by successive political administrations.
Efforts are therefore being made since 2009 to modernise with facilities so enhance trading.
Currently, construction of different stores and sheds are far advanced with some completed and are being used.
The visit by Mr Amissah-Arthur was to further assured the traders that work will soon be completed to enhance their trading activity and also introduced the NDC’s parliamentary candidate for Dome-Kwabenya, Nurudeen Mohammed to the traders.
The DCE, John Kwao Sackey led the Vice President through the market amid the shout “JM Toaso” obviously expressing their joy over the positive developments taking in the market.
The traders and the NDC supporters defied the earlier rainfall which had created stagnant waters and mud in the market to give the Vice President a rousing welcome.
He said the development in the Dome market explains why there is a clarion call for President Mahama to continue with the good work he is doing for the country.
Vice President Amissah-Arthur paid courtesy calls on the chiefs of Dome, Nii Kwao Obuabasa, and Haatso, Nii Sorgblah.
They endorsed President Mahama for another four years. They appealed to government to ensure that the December 7 polls are peaceful.
Vice President Amissah-Arthur ended his visit with a mini rally at the Haatso Yam market with the call on the people to turn out in their numbers and vote massively for President Mahama and Nurudeen Mohammed.
