GO TO RWANDA AND SEE THE NEW ENVIRONMENT. ONCE THEY SAY MOVE, YOU MOVE. THE STREETS DON'T BELONG TO YOU AND THERE ARE OTHER PLACES TO SELL. THE CUSTOMERS TOO WILL STILL BE PATRONIZING THEM.

Sustain the pressure AMA. Do not relent. Never relent in your efforts. Keep up the onslaught. Pile up more pressure. That is the only way you'll succeed. Salifu Amankwah succeeded using force, brute force. That is the language these illiterate idiots overstand. Don't listen to any politician. They'll interfere, the calls will come from as far as the Jubilee House. But don't listen. Keep up the fire. If they force you to stop, expose them and resign. We'll meet them at the polls in 2028.

Kpakpo Allotey should be humble enough to go and ask past mayors, Assembly leaders, and other stakeholders as to why previous attempts were not sustained. He can then devise better alternative solutions.

The only solution is to ensure there are security people there to ensure the hawkers do not come back. If they do, their wares shld be confiscated.

When persuasion fails force is applied.....just use the military... If this decongestion exercise will succeed. That's the language Ghanaians understand.

Repeating the same method everytime. Look ,"it takes 2 to tango" just arrest buyers, and see whether the sellers will come back again. Simple.

You have taken words from my mouth, just arrest buyers and arrange them for courts, and impose fine on them, if the sellers will not have costumers to buy from them on the pavements, how will they make the money?

No wonder, this is how choppy choppy begins with politicians. Taxpayers money will be given out and spent on issues like this nonsense. Decongestion activities have to be sustainable and effective. An operation is carried and forgotten. Now, politicians will need taxpayers money to go back and carry decongestion activities again. There are many jobs in Ghana but the politicians will not give them to the people. In this case here above, the government could employ people after the decongestion activities to constantly guide these surroundings. There is money to do that but this is in the pockets of the politicians.

Force them out!! The city must look clean and beautiful like any other in the world. This is unacceptable. You gave them respect by asking them to leave several times so force must be applied now.

This is dead wrong! I wonder how we reason as a people sometimes. We travel to other countries and wish our country's cities are as clean, organized and functional as theirs, yet we're never willing to do our quota in achieving this. These traders have no rite selling on our pavements whether they're provided with places to sell by government or not. You can't just pack items in a bowl, tray etc. and go sit on any pavements and say you're selling because you need to survive? This is total indiscipline and must not be tolerated or politicized by any rational Ghanaian.

All these are due to illiteracy, it doesn’t happen in developed and civilized countries because majority are educated. Environmental cleanliness should be inculcated in all levels of education - from KG to PHD level.

AMA wise up and stop the intimidation because you know definitely that you haven’t given them a place to move to so how are they going to feed their families. If you prepare a standard facility for them they are willing to go there but you haven’t done anything better for them and you expect them to move,I bet you it will turn out violence.

President Mahama, the Greater Accra Regional Minister, the Accra Mayor, the Minister of Interior, please, please enough is enough. We are tired of the lawlessness in Accra. Please ensure that there is law and order in our national capital. It is high time you set your foot down and take the bull by the horns.

How will Ghana develop with this kind of greedy and selfish mindset? People are only interested about themselves and their families and every other person can go to hell. Why on earth will you flaw the laws of the society you live in? I don't blame them i blame the lackadaisical laws that only target the poor in society. No nation can ever develop with this kind of defiance. AMA please crack the whip and sanitize the city.
