Led by the Public Relations Officer of KTA, \u00a0Andrews Koffie, the traders displayed a number of placards with inscriptions some of which read “Why Kejetia, how can you build ten thousand stores at Kjetia?” “Kejetia is no more lorry terminal!”<\/p>\n

The traders have accused KMA authorities of sending\u00a0three military men to mark stores for demolition at the bus terminal and further gave the traders till April to vacate the premises.<\/p>\n
