Krofrom Market Will Be Completed By 2026 - President Mahama

President John Mahama has assured residents of Kumasi that the long-abandoned Krofrom Market project will be completed and fully operational by the end of 2026. The market, which was initiated in 2007, has remained uncompleted for over a decade, turning into a hideout for criminals and reptiles, much to the frustration of traders and residents. As part of his Thank-You Tour of the Ashanti Region on Wednesday, July 16, President Mahama inspected the project site and pledged that all necessary steps would be taken to ensure its completion and activation.

He reiterated the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government’s commitment to revamping market infrastructure across the country as a priority. In our manifesto, we have something called the Market Enhancement Programme, in which we have picked 18 markets in Ghana that we are going to structure. So I have asked the Mayor to write to the Vice President and add Krofrom so that the project can be completed for good marketing. I believe that by the end of 2026, Krofrom Market will be completed, President Mahama assured.

Market Queen, Adwenehemaa Nana Sakina, expressed appreciation to the President, stating her belief that he is the only leader capable of completing the abandoned market projects and supporting the welfare of traders. She also pledged the full support of market women for the NDC.
