The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), in collaboration with the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly, is set to commence a major decongestion exercise today, Tuesday, 20th May 2025.
The operation will initially focus on areas surrounding the AMA Head Office, including Kinbu Road to Railways, ECG Junction to the King Tackie Tawiah Statue, and Opera Square to Adabraka.
Speaking to the media on Monday, 19th May, AMA Public Relations Officer, Gilbert Ankrah, outlined the scope of the operation, stating that the exercise would intensify along key routes, stretching 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 said.
Ahead of the exercise, AMA Chief Executive, Michael Kpakpo Allotey, engaged with street hawkers within the Central Business District (CBD), appealing for their cooperation and understanding.
“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 urged.
Mr Allotey also linked the initiative to the broader vision of the city’s development under an impending 24-hour economy policy.
“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.
This decongestion campaign forms part of a wider strategy aimed at restoring order and improving sanitation across the capital city.
