The Member of Parliament for Assin South, Prof. Dominc Fobih has constructed a market shed worth GHs18, 000 for traders who sell along the road at Assin Dombeabra in the Assin South district of the Central region.

The market shed which was constructed within a year would be able to accommodate more than 200 women in the sparsely populated community,

Commissioning the market over the weekend, Prof. Fobih said he was compelled to construct the market when he realized the dangers posed to the women as they sat by the road side selling their goods to people on board moving vehicles.

He stated the market would have been completed within a few months had it not been for the unnecessary delay by the district assembly in releasing part of his common fund to him to embark on the project.

He noted he had to personally solicit funding to be able to embark on the market project.

Prof.Fobih said the market belonged to the community and advised the people to desist from playing politics within it.

He advised the women to start their own small scale businesses under the market shed to be able to cater for their children’s educational needs.
