Mayor Michael Kpakpo Allotey has paused a new rent charge for traders at Makola No. 2 Market. This decision comes after traders protested a proposed rent increase.
Traders also raised concerns about a disputed 20 percent charge. These disagreements led to the closure of some market stalls.
The Accra Metropolitan Assembly AMA intends to meet with the facility managers. This meeting aims to address the traders' grievances.
The rent increment will not be enforced while these talks are happening.
The market closure caused disruption for the traders.
The AMA is working to resolve the situation peacefully.
Further updates are expected following the negotiations.
