Plans for Boroko market still unknown

THE Boroko market project, which cost of more than K2 million, was officially opened by former Central Governor Alphonse Moroi and NCD Governor Powes Parkop in October 2011.
It was handed over to the Central farmers to sell their garden produce.
However, this new market has not been operating and it is almost five years since the opening.
Due to its prolonged closure, the original landowners of the Central continue to suffer from harassment and discrimination when they try to sell their produce in the public city markets.
Boroko is one of the prime locations of the capital city where many middle class and well-to-do people live.
We,  as residents of Boroko, are risking our lives and having difficulty looking for garden produce from other markets in the city.
As most of these markets are risky and unsafe, we tend to feed from imported organic food supplied by the foreign supermarkets which are not good for our health.
The Boroko market is an eyesore and the NCDC need to explain to residents and taxpayers what is being planned to utilise this public facility that was built with public funds.
