Tema-Ghana, Nov. 19, GNA – Managers of State Fishing Cooperation (SFC) Flats in Tema, have banned trading activities within the premises of the flats as part of measures to enforce environmental cleanliness.
Mr Williams Darfour, defunct SFC former Public Affairs Officer, explained that all the occupants of the flats, mainly former staff of SFC, agreed in a meeting that nobody would be allowed to trade at the compound of the flat.
SFC collapsed in the early 1990s.
“We don’t want the flat’s compound to be turned into a marketplace that is why collectively, we took the decision years ago not to allow anyone to engage in trading activities here,” Mr Darfour told the Ghana News Agency in an interview at Tema.
He revealed that the moment one kiosk, container, and tabletop shopping springs up, that would be the beginning and the end of sanity around the flats, “our serene environment would be disrupted,” he said.
According to Mr Dafour, the compound of several flats in Tema has been occupied by traders making it difficult for the residents to get a place to park their cars or even carry on with any social activities.
He said the SFC Flats built in 1961 remained one of the oldest neat flats in Tema.
