A ten-acre land at Kofi Kwei in the Ga South Municipality has been announced as the new land secured for the scrap dealers to move to. It comes on the back of their eviction, along with the onion market at Agbogbloshie, on Thursday, July 1, 2021, reports citinewsroom.com. Making this known in an interaction with the leadership of the Greater Accra Scrap Dealers Association, Henry Quartey, the regional minister for Greater Accra, also announced a GHS100,000 package for the union as a form of support for their transportation to their new home. Before now, the scrap dealers had expressed their disappointments in the authorities, stating that all throughout the process to relocate the onion market, they had continuously been told that they were going to be part of the affected persons. Since assuming office as the Greater Accra regional minister, Henry Quartey, has been leading a campaign called, “Let’s make Accra work” to improve the city of Accra; one befitting the status of a capital city.
