The Chief of Senfi-Adumasa in the Bekwai Municipal of the Ashanti Region, Nana Amankwa Kodom, has cut sod to begin the construction of an ultra-modern market at Senfi in honour of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
The project, which is being financed by the chief, is expected to be completed within six months.

Speaking to the media, the chief explained that there was a need for a new market facility to replace the old one which had been in a deplorable state for some years now. He, therefore, called for the support of the Senfi residents to hasten the construction of the new market.
He appealed to the residents of Senfi to support the contractor to ensure that the project is completed on time.
Senfi-Adumasahene said they had tried all possible means for support through written letters but it had proved futile. However, nananom have decided to support the construction of the project.
“I’m constructing this ultra-modern market facility to honour the King of Ashanti, His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu ll, who is celebrating 25 years on the Golden Stool,” he noted.
Nana Kodom lamented that the traders were trading under the scorching sun and whenever it rained, it destroyed all their stocks which necessitated the construction of the new market.
Nana Kodom named Thursday as the market day for Senfi after the completion of the market.
The Assembly Member for the Senfi Electoral Area, Mr. Solomon Fosu, said no trader would be left out after the completion of the market, and it would be shared fairly among the traders. “I’ve charged the contractor to speed up the work to ensure that the project is completed on time,” he added.
According to him, one of their major challenges is power issues since half of the town is in total darkness and the situation needs an immediate attention. He also mentioned that their football pitch needed urgent attention and urged others to come and support him to fence it.
The residents of Senfi-Adumasa commended Nana Amankwa Kodom for the market and other projects for the community.
