The Chief Executive Officer of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), Michael Kpakpo Allotey has assured residents that the ongoing decongestion exercise is not a fleeting effort but a sustained campaign to transform the city’s urban landscape.
Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Allotey emphasized that the exercise is a long-term commitment aimed at clearing roads and pavements of unauthorized trading and related activities.
Contrary to public perception that such efforts may be short-lived, he reiterated that this campaign will continue throughout the year, ensuring that Accra’s streets remain accessible and organized.
“This is not just another temporary measure,” he affirmed. “We are determined to maintain the momentum and keep the city’s roads and walkways free from obstructions.”
The operation, which is being carried out in collaboration with the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly (KoKMA), targets key commercial areas such as Okaishie, Kwame Nkrumah Circle, and Kaneshie. Market leaders and transport unions have been engaged in discussions to facilitate the smooth relocation of affected traders.
By sustaining this effort, the AMA hopes to instil lasting discipline in the use of public spaces and enhance urban mobility in Ghana’s capital city.
