@oparedawuro: “Don’t Destroy Their Livelihoods!” Felix Appiah Blasts Government Over 24-Hour Market Demolitions. In this edition of Sounds From Afar, Felix Appiah strongly criticizes the government over the demolition of existing markets to make way for proposed 24-hour markets. Felix argues that many of the affected traders are petty traders and market women who depend on their stalls for their daily income and family survival. He says pulling down already functioning markets in the name of building new ones is insensitive if traders are displaced without a clear and immediate alternative. According to Felix, government should not destroy existing livelihoods simply to create a new project or score a political point. He argues that authorities should instead identify suitable land and build new 24-hour markets without disrupting traders who are already earning a living in existing market spaces. The discussion also raises important questions about compensation, relocation, consultation with affected traders and whether development projects should come at the expense of ordinary people. Do you agree with Felix? Should government build new 24-hour markets on separate land rather than demolish functioning markets?
