The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), in partnership with the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly, will begin a decongestion exercise today, Tuesday, May 20, 2025.
Speaking to Citi News on Monday, May 19, AMA Public Relations Officer Gilbert Ankrah said the exercise will intensify along key routes from Wato Junction through King Tackie Tawiah School to Cow Lane.
“The plan is straightforward, with the main focus on the areas surrounding the AMA Head Office. All zones within that enclave will be addressed. Attention will also be given to the Accra City Hotel and Mövenpick Hotel areas,” he stated.
Ahead of the exercise, AMA Chief Executive Michael Kpakpo Allotey engaged street hawkers in the Central Business District (CBD), urging their cooperation.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to restore order and improve sanitation across Accra.
“I am pleading with you to assist us in cleaning up the city and restoring order. We all want a better and more organised environment, and cooperation is vital in achieving that goal,” he said.
“Our upcoming 24-hour economy policy will create new opportunities for you to sell your goods overnight. But for now, I plead that we stay off the pavement as we carry out this important cleanup,” he added.
