What happened

Well supportedReported by 6 independent outlets

Construction on the Kejetia Market Redevelopment Phase II in Kumasi is scheduled to resume in October 2026, following an agreement between the government and Contracta, the firm executing the project. Mahama Ayariga, Minister for Local Government, stated that the project was previously stalled due to the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme. Additionally, the government plans to charge shopkeepers rents closer to the actual value of their spaces.

The resumption of the Kejetia complex, which includes over 7,000 stalls and 120 food courts, signals a major restart of infrastructure investment in Kumasi. The change in rental policy could also affect the operational costs and revenue streams of traders operating within the complex.
