Tema, Dec. 24, GNA \u2013 The Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA) has adopted a 2026 Annual Action Plan\u00a0comprising\u00a0241\u00a0programmes\u00a0and activities at an estimated cost of GH\u00a2140 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madam Ebi Bright, the Tema Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE),\u00a0disclosing\u00a0this in a sessional address, said the plan would be financed\u00a0mainly through\u00a0internally generated funds, the District Assemblies Common\u00a0Fund\u00a0and other sources.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madam Bright\u00a0said the\u00a0IGF would be used to implement 58 per cent of the plan, while the District Assemblies Common Fund and funding sources would cater for 33.5 per cent and 8.5 per cent, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She explained that the 2026 plan responded\u00a0directly to persistent challenges of ageing sewer systems, deteriorated roads and drains, waste management gaps, encroachment, slum conditions, and deficiencies in educational, health, and recreational infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said the plan focused on data-driven governance and digital transformation, stating that \u201cOur vision is to transform Tema into a data-driven, innovative, and model digital metropolis, one where decisions are based on evidence, where services are delivered efficiently, and where the Assembly knows precisely what it governs.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Reporting on some\u00a0works\u00a0done in 2025, she said within the first week of assuming office as the MCE, the TMA completed emergency repairs on a 310-metre stretch of\u00a0Harbour\u00a0Road between\u00a0Mankoadze\u00a0and\u00a0Harbour\u00a0Roundabout.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She added that the Padmore Road junction upgrade, in partnership with the Swiss Government through SECO, was advancing, announcing that the District Roads Improvement\u00a0Programme\u00a0(DRIP) for all communities had\u00a0been scheduled for 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said projects awarded included the paving of El Paso Lorry Station, renovation works at the Urban Roads Department and Waste Management Department, and refurbishment of the Community Centre.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She\u00a0indicated\u00a0that the construction and rehabilitation of lorry terminals across the metropolis was a priority for 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madam Bright added that the Authority\u2019s\u00a0Committee had\u00a0rightly drawn attention to pedestrian safety concerns, and the assembly would\u00a0prioritise\u00a0the provision of zebra crossings, road signs, and speed ramps at\u00a0identified\u00a0high-risk locations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Committee had also recommended interim truck parking measures, which management would review, noting that the TMA would intensify its Facelift Campaign in 2026 to reclaim public spaces and\u00a0organise\u00a0informal trading activities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madam Bright said an audit revealed over 3,000 temporary structures across the metropolis, with only\u00a019 having\u00a0valid permits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said structures within declared security zones would be removed without relocation, while traders outside security zones would be provided with\u00a0organised\u00a0trading clusters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The\u00a0campaign was aimed at ensuring safety,\u00a0fairness\u00a0and orderly urban development, she said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
On lighting the metropolis, she said the assembly had repaired 320 streetlights across all 21 electoral areas to improve safety and night-time visibility, noting that the distribution was done equitably, with a minimum of 12 streetlights per electoral area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An\u00a0additional\u00a0100 streetlights were expected to be installed, while comprehensive maintenance works were ongoing on principal streets,\u00a0in partnership with the Ministry of Energy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madam Bright acknowledged delays caused by underground cable replacement challenges but assured that works would be\u00a0expedited.\u00a0<\/p>\n
