Management of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) met with leadership of the various hawkers groups within the metropolis to fashion out an appropriate way of streamlining their activities which had been a problem for pedestrians and motorists and a challenge for the AMA over the years.
A statement issued by Numo Blafo III, Head of Public Relations at AMA, on Tuesday 21 March, said: “In view of this, both parties have agreed on implementing the “redline policy” initiated by the AMA a year ago. It is the hope of the AMA that the hawkers will comport themselves during this period and to report any grievance to the assembly for amicable resolution.
“However, notwithstanding the AMA’s willingness to allow the hawkers some space along the streets, their indiscriminate activities violate the AMA Hawkers By-Laws of 2011 and article 117 (Section 1A-F) of the road traffic regulations 2012.”
