Traders at Kumasi City Market Limited (KCML), popularly called Kejetia Dubai, have asked for transparency in the metre allocation for the market.
The issue of the whole market connected to only one metre has been a major concern to the traders.
Due to the exorbitant ECG bills, traders have flouted in payment, resulting in periodic disconnection exercises.
Management of the Market had assured the fixing of self-meters for the over 7,000 shops by the close of 2023.
However, information has it that about 2000 of the metres have arrived and are to be fixed.
Leaders of the trade unions in the market say the situation as exposed by their members makes it difficult to convince them to commit to the project.
Traders revealed, that leaders attempted to engage the assigned contractor for deliberations in the last meeting with management, which seems unlikely to see the light of day if one considers the demeanour of the managers of the facility.
According to them, it will be difficult on the part of traders to accept decisions made for traders on payment without their input going unquestioned.
‘Though the supply of meters to individual stores in the market remains a priority to every trader, it must be executed in a manner of fairness and inclusiveness ‘ he reiterated.
