Leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen says he will establish a retail market infrastructure across the country to improve the working environment of Ghanaian traders.
He also promised to establish a bank for the traders which would give soft loans to support their trade and boost their living conditions.

Mr. Kyerematen made the pledge while speaking to some market women in the Eastern region as part of his market tour of the region.
The Eastern Regional Market Tour allowed the former Trade and Industry Minister to interact with market women in seven major markets in the region including Nsawam, Adweso, Asamankese, Kade, Akwatia, Suhum and Koforidua.

He stated that the retail market infrastructure will take traders off the street to a more conducive marketplace to minimise the risk of selling by the roadside.
