The Chief Executive of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), Michael Kpakpo Allotey, has commenced direct engagements with street hawkers in the Central Business District (CBD) ahead of a major decongestion exercise scheduled to begin Tuesday, May 20.
This initiative forms part of a broader strategy aimed at restoring orderliness and improving sanitation in the capital city.
Accompanied by the Municipal Chief Executive for Korle Klottey, Kpakpo Allotey, toured several key trading corridors on Saturday, including Kinbu Road, Kojo Thompson Road, Sempe Road, Kantamanto, and other identified hotspots.
“I am pleading with you to assist us in cleaning up the city and restoring order. We all want a better and more organised environment, and cooperation is vital in achieving that goal.
“Our upcoming 24-hour economy policy will create new opportunities for you to sell your goods overnight. But for now, I plead that we stay off the pavement as we carry out this important clean up,” he stated.
