The Member of Parliament(MP) for Tano North Constituency in the Ahafo region, Dr Gideon Boako, has initiated a paving project to improve Bomaa market’s sanitation and structural conditions.
For decades, the traders at Bomaa Market have lived through a difficult cycle. When it rained, the ground turned into deep, messy mud. When it was dry, dust covered their food and made it hard to breathe.
Selling food in mud or heavy dust is not healthy. It was easy for people to get sick or for the fresh food to get dirty.
Because the market was so messy, many traders did not want to pay their daily fees (tolls) to the Assembly. A revenue collector at the market, Nana Boakye said it was very hard to ask people for money when they were standing in mud.
Now with the timely intervention of the MP to fix the ground at the market, he stated, revenue collection would improve drastically
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Tano North, Dr Gideon Boako, organized a project to cover the market floor with strong concrete through a “communal labour” day right after the March 6 celebrations.
He told the crowd that he wants to build a stronger community where everyone has a clean and safe place to work.
Now, the traders and the buyers are full of joy. The mothers and grandmothers who sell tomatoes, bread, and cloth say their “cries have been heard.”
“We are so happy,” Ama Achia said. “Now our shoes will stay clean, our clothes will stay neat, and our customers will have a nice place to buy from.”
With this new concrete floor, the Bomaa Market is moving from a place of struggle to a place of pride.
Dr Boako’s intervention is helping to make sure that the local economy can grow in a clean and happy environment.
