Court orders demolition of Kotokuraba market 

The Cape Coast High Court has ruled for the demolition of the Kotokuraba market to pave the way for the construction of an ultra-modern market in the Cape Coast Metropolis. 

The market was supposed to have been demolished on October 1 this year, but due to a motion of stay of execution filed by eight aggrieved traders of the market, the process delayed in which the Omanhene of the Oguaa Traditional Area, Osabarima Kwesi Atta, pleaded with the court to allow him to amicably settle the case out of court, which did not materialize since the plaintiffs failed to sign the settlement report.

Justice Dapaah in his ruling noted that though the traders stand the chance of facing hardships, the greater part would be on the defendants and the hardships of the plaintiffs are only temporal, adding that the project would benefit a large number of people in the Cape Coast Metropolis including the plaintiffs themselves.
