Traders at the Kumasi Central Business District are protesting what they describe as the government's neglect of development projects in the Ashanti region.
They point to the stalled market and hospital projects as the bane of the socio-economic growth of the region.
Sarfo Kantanka led the aggrieved group to address a press conference in Kumasi.
He bemoaned the failure of the ruling New Patriotic Party government to commit to completing projects essential for the economic growth and wellbeing of the region.

He spoke about the neglect of victims of the recent Kejetia market fire and the failure of the authorities to complete market projects, especially the phase two of the Kejetia Redevelopment Project and the Krofrom Market.
"Other stalled projects include the Boankra Inland Port project, Kumasi International Airport project and other road projects" he said.

The aggrieved traders are also worried about the delayed activation of the Afari Military Hospital, Sewua Regional Hospital, the Kumawu hospital and the Komfo Anokye Maternity Block project.
Sarfo Kantanka questioned the apathy of parliamentarians from the Ashanti region
"There are forty -seven members of parliament from Ashanti region, what are their contribution to the development of Asanteman?" they lamented.
