The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) is set to launch a decongestion exercise in the city on Tuesday, May 20, 2025. The exercise will target areas around Kinbu Road to Railways, ECG Junction to the King Tackie Tawiah Statue, Opera Square to Adabraka, and other locations in the city.
The AMA has directed all persons affected to vacate the designated locations by the close of day on Monday, May 19, 2025. The exercise is being spearheaded by the AMA and the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly (KoKMA), with support from the Ghana Police Service, market leaders, transport unions, and other key stakeholders.
The AMA cited the strict enforcement of the AMA Hawkers Bye-Laws (2017) and Section 117(1) of the Road Traffic Regulations, 2012 (L.I. 2180) as the reason for the exercise. The assembly has also announced plans to introduce a 24-hour city operation model, including a dedicated clean-up and security task force to support improved sanitation and safe night-time commercial activities in the capital.
The AMA is calling on the public to lend their support to the exercise, urging full cooperation from affected groups to help restore order and dignity to the city.
