This is a wicked problem. Redefine what you call CBD - This is no longer a CBD. Can we redefine the CBD through a containment strategy.

Is it possible to AMA,KMA SAEMA etc to deliberately close specific roads in the CBD to vehicular traffic and declared them as solely for hawking, In this case they can have 4 rows of sitting arrangements to accommodate more petty traders.

That is only when you can deal with recalcitrant ones when they trade at areas declared forbidden for trading

The mayor should use the military to enforce the law's. This is the only language we understand. We need another SALIFU AMANKWAH to keep ACCRA clean.

I totally agree with you. We need to reintroduce the salifu amankwah era. Discipline those days was awesome. Some ghanaians need corporal punishment before their brains work.

If dialogue fails, forces must apply. Why must your stomach disturb others? Please use your fucking brain. Go there with police arraign and charge them, this nonsense must stop. Inside the road itself? That’s crazy.

Even the sheep or goals (meee, meeee), animals, CANNOT say " the streets are our office". Only in Ghana that I believe that this can be said.

Lawlessness and lack of discipline is the hallmark of us Ghanaians. Simple laws and regulations we can't abide. Citizens must not buy anything from those street vendors so that over time they will not waste their time occupying the streets illegally. They are not smart enough or have enough conscience to obey any law. As a product of our failed educational system, they do not understand the consequences of their actions. This is why half of our nation will vote of a particular party no matter how useless and corrupt the party is.

The only way for this uneducated vendors to move away from the streets is to make sure that they don't make any money selling their products under the sun. Therefore, all the people passing them by should not buy anything from them.
