Market trader appeals to President Mahama for economic intervention
A market woman from Bole has made an emotional appeal to President John Mahama regarding the severe economic difficulties facing traders in the area. In a video that has gone viral on social media, the woman, speaking in the Gonja language, painted a grim picture of the current state of commerce in the Bole market.
The trader, who identifies herself as a relative of President Mahama, described the situation as unbearable. According to her account, customer activity in the market has significantly declined, with fewer people purchasing goods. She attributed this sharp drop in sales to a critical shortage of cash in the local economy.
“People don’t buy things in the market again,” she lamented, highlighting how the liquidity crisis has directly impacted small-scale traders who depend on daily sales for their livelihoods.
The market woman’s appeal comes at a time when many Ghanaians across various sectors have expressed concerns about economic conditions. She specifically called on President Mahama to intervene and address the hardship that has made it increasingly difficult for market women and traders to sustain their businesses.
Her video message, delivered in the local Gonja language, has resonated with many on social media, drawing attention to the challenges facing market traders in the Savannah Region and beyond.
The situation in Bole market reflects broader concerns about economic pressures affecting small businesses and traders throughout Ghana, particularly in relation to cash flow and consumer purchasing power.
