A major decongestion exercise is set to commence in Accra on Tuesday, May 20, targeting the Central Business District (CBD) and other traffic-choked areas, including Okaishie, the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange, and Kaneshie.
The initiative, led by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), aims to clear street traders and unauthorized structures from pavements and roads to restore order and improve mobility within the capital.
At a press conference held today in Accra, newly appointed AMA Chief Executive Michael Kpakpo Allotey announced the campaign, which will be spearheaded by the Metropolitan Security Council (METSEC). "Our streets are not marketplaces.
Pavements are for walking, roads are for driving," Allotey stated firmly, describing the current situation as a threat to public safety and effective city management.
