23 arrested at Agbogbloshie for selling foodstuffs under unhygienic

Public Health Officers from the Accra Metropolitan Assembly(AMA) have arrested some 23 traders at the Agbogbloshie market for selling foodstuff on bare floors and under unhygienic conditions.

It is an initiative that seeks to help enforce waste management laws and educate the general public on how to manage waste.

Expressing her disappointment in the traders on their disregard for the Assembly’s bylaws on sanitation, the Mayor of Accra, Elizabeth Kwatsoe Tawiah Sackey, who joined the team ordered the immediate removal of traders selling on streets into the markets where they have shed.

The AMA boss reiterated that some of the traders after all the education and engagements over the years against displaying their goods on the bare ground and at unauthorised places still continued to go contrary, adding that the Assembly would not show any mercy in dealing with such offenders anymore, hence the arrest.
