STREET HAWKING: A TICKING TIME BOMB

Street hawkers at kaneshie first light have shared the challenges they are facing and the reason why they prefer to sell on the street.

Street hawking was in the past restricted to the central business districts of Accra, kejetia, and Adum in Kumasi as well as some few travellers’ stops on some major highways in the country. Streets in Accra are becoming chocked as a result of the activities of street hawkers.

For that reason, D FM news team went out to interview some of the street hawkers at kaneshie first light on the challenges that they are facing and also the reasons why they engage themselves in such business.

Sister Ama who is a Tiger nut seller said, she wants to re-write her exams but her parents are facing financial problem.  In another interview, Untie Anita also said, they were asked to go to the market to sale but she will not go because if they all go there the place will be chocked .
