Any disruption here will not only devastate livelihoods but will also undermine food security and economic stability far beyond this constituency,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>She further stressed that the continuous threats of eviction create insecurity and fear among the residents and workers, while undermining the role of the market as a critical center of commerce and distribution.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Agyeman-Rawlings therefore called on the Government of Ghana, in particular the Minister for Transport<strong>,<\/strong> working in close collaboration with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to investigate the matter, curb fraudulent claims, and safeguard the community.<\/p>\n<p>The Klottey-Korle legislator reaffirmed her commitment to stand with the people of the market until a lasting solution is achieved, stressing that the matter must be treated as a national priority.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22153\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/dr-zanetor.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"676\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, Member of Parliament for Klottey-Korle, on Thursday, 18th September 2025, called for immediate and coordinated government intervention to resolve the long-standing dispute [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22152,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
