Weta Market Bounces Back

Weta (Volta Region), 23, Sept. The Weta market in the Ketu District of Volta Region which became defunct soon after its opening in July, 1973, has been revived by the Weta branch of the 31st December Women's Movement. The market became defunct because there are three other markets in the area whose market days coincided with that of Weta. At its official re-opening last Saturday, the Ketu District Chief Executive, Madam Jane Codelia Duwor, said the government is determined to provide amenities such as good markets in the rural areas. She said the government's programme to provide potable water, electricity, schools and health facilities in the countryside is on course and commended the people of Weta for their initiative in starting the market project. Madam Duwor appealed to them not to relent in their efforts but strive to work harder to make the market a modern commercial centre for trading in the district. She asked them to be mindful of the mistake of the past which crippled the then flourishing market. They should discourage the activities of middlemen and market "queens" as their activities give rise to high prices of items in the market. gri...
