President Mahama has vowed to deal severely with anyone who has contributed to the undue delay in the redevelopment exercise of the Ho central market.

He expressed disappointment that many years after he launched the Ghana urban management project which was among other things to give a facelift to the Ho central market nothing has happened to the market since then.

He noted that although there was money for the project, he is surprised that nothing has been done after one year and promised to deal ruthlessly with whoever was delaying the funds in Accra.

He said the needless bureaucracy in public administration can no longer be tolerated.

Addressing market women of the Ho central market as part of his tour of the region the President gave the assurance that he will do everything possible to ensure that the market is rehabilitated.

President John Dramani Mahama also promised to perform in all the sectors of the economy to justify the mandate Ghanaians had given him for the next four years.

"The year started on a rather bad note, with series of fire outbreaks in our major markets, followed by the election petition, industrial strikes, energy crisis, among other issues, but thank God we are gradually getting out of them" President Mahama added.
