According to him, the directive is taking effect immediately because “sometimes, after the markets have closed, you go in there and you see people loitering around. Some have even made the market some sleeping place and in the bid to curb all this, that is why this directive has been given".

PERSONALLY, I THINK THIS IS AGOOD DIRCTIVE FROM THE AMA. THE MARKET CLOSING TIME SHOULD BEGIN AT 5/6AM AND STOP AT 7PM. THIS WILL GIVE FOOD SELLERS, KIOSK OWNERS A CHANCE TO ALSO MAKE MONEY AS WELL. THE MAYOR MUST GIVE MARKET WORKERS SOME TIME BEFORE IMPLEMENTING THIS. GIVE THEM ABOUT 2 WEEKS TO PREPARE. 2 WEEKS WILL GIVE THE MAYOR TIME TO USE THE MEDIA, WORD OF MOUTH AT THE MARKETS TO PREPARE FOR SUCH A SYSTEM. THIS IS ENTIRELY NEW.

In the meantime they've got to get to the bottom of what appear to be arson perpetrated to disturb the peace across the city and the country.

It will not solve the situation, the degree at which bigotry and nepotism is sweeping across the country is a factor to this arson act. It will eventually soak into everything if immediate measures are not taken.

This is not a solution to the problem.
People who work and leave office at 5pm need to go to the market after work. So is he going to close the markets at 6pm on Saturday also?This is the usual knee jerk reaction by incompetent ghanaian officials. of course it will not work because they do not even have the menas to police this. And by the way in India markets cclose at 11pm in the night. It does not cause fires! You ghanaians are jokers
