    Delighted.These malls should give impetus to the development of the local manufacturing sector rather than focus on imports.

  • KB,LONDON 9 years ago

    Excellent job Otumfuo, Kumasi has been ignore for modern developments and this shows the new beginning.

  • Joe Turkey 9 years ago

    In Ghana, a "Mall" is a cluster of stores that sell overpriced foreign goods; a place where the nouveau-rich go show off, the idlers go get some air condition and pretenders to cover up their poverty.
