Traders operating in Accra have defied official directives by returning to sell on the streets and pavements, following a five-day decongestion exercise carried out by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) under the leadership of the Mayor Michael Kpakpo Allotey.
According to a report by 3news.com, the defiant traders appear to have reclaimed the streets, setting up their items for sale despite the recent decongestion efforts.
Areas around the AMA head office to the Ghana School of Law and the Makola Fire Station, which were previously cleared by the task force, have now been reoccupied by traders, with no visible presence of AMA task force officers to enforce the directive.
According to the report, this situation has led to renewed congestion and traffic for both vehicles and pedestrians attempting to navigate the affected streets.
