There was a struggle for space on Monday morning at the Race Course area following the relocation as many traders complained of lack of space. The Assembly, led by Kumasi Mayor Osei Assibey Antwi, ordered the traders to leave so that allocations and floor markings could be done. The aggrieved traders expressed disappointment that the assembly failed to do the demarcations before embarking on the eviction exercise. The Chairman of the Kumasi Petty Trader Association, Mr Akwasi Prempeh, expressed displeasure over the development and appealed to the assembly to allow them to go back to the previous area till the Race Course area is ready.
