No, the country does not belong to NPP, but you yourself, will you wake up and go to the market at 2am? What for? Are you mad? 24 hrs economy market will only encourage more import and sell putting more pressure on the dollar killing local businesses and eventually the cedi. But fools like you won't understand.

To those supporting John Mahama's stupidity, how many markets in Ghana operates 24/7? Mahama told Ghanaians that the idea behind the building of 111 districts hospitals in Ghana is an "Over ambitious" meaning it doesn't make sense, but he is building 276 markets across Ghana which to him, makes sense. Now, hospitals and markets which operates 24/7?

John Mahama and foolishness are inseparable twins. Gyimii saa kwa.

NKWASIAS3M SAAA!
“We don’t want any 24 hour economy market.” You and who are the - WE?
EVEN THE GA ADANGBE PEOPLE OF ACCRA, WHO HAVE LOST ALL THEIR LANDS TO GOVERNMENT, ORGANISATIONS, PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS AND MARKET WOMEN LIKE YOU AND OTHER TRIBES, HAVE NEVER DEMONSTRATED AGAINST YOU.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE CURRENT GENERATION OF ADULT GHANAIANS THINK GHANA AND EVERYTHING THEREIN BELONG TO THEM ALONE.
THEY HAVE A MINDSET THAT WHATEVER THEY SEE AND POSSESS IS THIERS FOR EVER. THATS WHY THEY SCRAMBLE FOR LANDS, HOUSES, MARKETS, STREET SIDE SPACE FOR SHOPS AND KIOSKS, FOOD, RADIO/TV STATIONS, JOBS, FOREST RESERVES, EVEN TOILET FACILITIES, ETC.
THEY NEVER KNOW THAT GHANA IS ALSO FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN AND UNBORN GENERATIONS AND THAT GOVERNMENT MUST BE FORWARD LOOKING / ‘FUTURE THINKING’ TO PREPARE TOMORROW’S GHANA TODAY FOR THE BETTERMENT OF ALL.
ITS THE SAME WAPPED MINDSET EXHIBITED DURING THE PLANNED DEMOLISHING EXERCISE OF THE OLD KEJETIA MARKET IN KUMASI.
THE THEN MARKET WOMEN WERE VERY FURIOUS AND OPENLY RESISTED THE GOVERNMENT WITH MUCH NOISE MAKING….
TODAY, LOOK AT THE NEW KEJETIA MARKET SERVING MORE PEOPLE WITH ADDED VALUE TO BOTH MARKET WOMEN/TRADERS AND THE PUBLIC. THE SAME MARKET WOMEN ARE CALLING FOR FASTRACKING KEJETIA PHASE 2.

ALL AGBOGBLOSHIE MARKET WOMEN AND TRADERS WHO RESIST THIS PROJECT FOR THEIR CURRENT SELFISH WANTON APPETITE SHOULD BE ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED.
THE LAND AND MARKET WAS THERE BEFORE THEY WERE ALL BORN AND DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM.
THEY MUST ALL BE RELOCATED IMMEDIATELY TO MAKE ROOM AND SPACE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MARKET TO BENEFIT THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE.

Don't let them break down your market because they can't build it up, Akufo Addo the old chimpanzee criminal break down our market circle in Takoradi and they couldn't take 8 years to build it up and NDC also can't finish it for us including interchange, they mess up the whole city. The politicians are deceivers and criminals, all of them.

They want to continue trading in the filthy environment. The Government should be firm and kick them out. We should do what is right for the country. A bunch of illiterate women cannot continue to tarnish the image of Ghana and expose us to hazardous diseases through contaminated foods sold in the market.

Just simple if they don't want the market and the land is for the state just boot them away and use the place for something else.

The same way as the Kejetia phase 1 turned out, now the very people who were politically pushed to protest are the real benefactors today. Development comes sometimes with consequences you can't please everyone all the time.

The same rejection meted at Nkrumah for having good vision for a country that is always at the mercy of people who support an evil part. NPP never want anything good for Ghana.
