Mayor Bensouda is accompanied by a high-powered delegation including directors of KMC.
Speaking at a meeting in Fajikunda, Bensouda said: “We have designed a project to build a ten million dalasi market in Fajikunda. It would contain over hundred shops and a children’ daycare.”
He noted that the council has already negotiated with the owner of the land where the market would be constructed, adding that the construction of the market will commence in the near future.
Moving forward, he assured the community that KMC will continue bringing more development to their doorsteps, citing their plans to also construct feeder roads, provision of solar light in the vicinity and ensuring more effective waste management in the locality.
