Video: Ashaiman traders clash with AMA Task Force over disinfection of market

Accra Metropolitan Assembly has begun its fumigation exercise in over 1000 markets in the business capital Accra as traders are away.

According to the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, the exercise is to help enhance hygienic conditions in the markets amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.

However, Ashaiman market traders who did not receive the information well challenged the officials who are all set to adhere to the decision of the government.

In a video making rounds on social media, the traders were there and ready to continue their business duties as normal.

When officials approached them to explain why they came to trade instead of adhering to the rules, some of the traders complained that they did not realize that there are going to be such activities to be held today.
