Sell ‘cocaine’ if you can’t withstand economic hardship – Minister to traders

Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah has asked petty traders in the Kumasi metropolis to venture into the sale of cocaine if they cannot withstand the economic hardship in the country.

He said traders who are using economic hardship as an excuse to sell at unauthorised places must rethink their decision because persons who break the law will face justice.

According him, the petty traders who are doing businesses at the Suame roundabout and the Footbridge in the Central Business District are recalcitrant and they do not want law to operate smoothly, so “we need to uproot them by force action”.
