Market women who occupied the Akim Oda Central Market in the Birim Central Municipality of the Eastern Region are kicking against a planned relocation to a new site.<\/p>\n

The market women who lost all their items last year when fire razed the entire market have since been trading on the shoulders of the road behind the market, a situation the Birim Central Municipal Assembly is not comfortable with.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The market women clad in red apparel with placards demonstrated through the principal streets of Akim Oda on Friday to register their displeasure.<\/p>\n

They also accused the Member of Parliament for the area, Alexander AKwasi Acquah, and the assembly of doing little to help them since they lost their wares to the fire a year ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere they have located us to, we don\u2019t like it. There is nothing there. He hasn\u2019t done anything there for us. He is lying to us,\u201d one trader said.<\/p>\n

Some of the women were also concerned about the security situation of the new space.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere we are now, they steal from, how much more where they are taking us to now? They will really steal from us there,\u201d another trader said.<\/p>\n
