Use your statutory powers to clean up our capital. The nkurasesem nó adoorsó dodo. You can't create filth & mess for the larger society by claiming that is the only job you do. Farming still remains a job. Accra cannot continue to change into a dirty jungle through the acts of some few village animals

U talking nonsense. What has irrational and animalistic behaviours of selling just anywhere, mainly by those from deep the forests got to do with the indigene, who is not the maker of the laws of the land?

99& of these people are from the asante region! Accra was so much better before these lawless creatures invaded and took over our nation's capital.

Mmoa , you are an animal indeed. As the commenter, Kekeli, said your tribesmen are so lazy others have to seize the trade opportunities Accra offers.

Trade opportunities exist in designated areas but unfortunately some people just squat wherever there is footfall. Indigenes obviously respect their spaces but villagers don't know the difference.

Yes, they have the right to seize every trading opportunities Accra offers but do they have to occupy every space available? Ghana is indeed a failed state. Let's put tribal insults & politics aside and make our cities beautiful. We are fast falling behind other countries who spoke highly of Ghana years ago.

Jone Kumi Larbi, just be reasonable, wether the indegenes are lazy or not, does not warrant selling just anywhere. U just not making basic common sense! I just wonder how some people become so unreasonable just of hatred for the Gà. Meanwhile the Gà man was here before u descended from the deep forest to even become human, and even then your thinking is still warped! Else why make such a senseless point! Are u saying that the people of a particular tribe are lazy, so then it's justified for the jungle man to sell anywhere when he got to the "lazy" tribes man's space? Now u, and people of your warped mentality are being chased around by the law, not the Gà man. I pray hard it's sustained!

Politicians should be blamed for these chaotic scenes in the capital because of their willful neglect to develop the "Rural Areas in Ghana". Developing the rural areas in Ghana is the only answer to "Urban Migration" else, we can build 10 capital cities across the country, and they will all be chocked.

There are people who just spit insensitive comment describing their fellow humans as "Forest dwellers" forgetting that forests were created before humans.

Before JJ staged his useless revolution, was Accra choked as we see it today, no. After collapsing thousands of jobs etc, his indirect message was "Move to Accra" and become a headache to the nation, but some fools who have no idea about what happened then, will blame the Ghanaian who is struggling on the side of the road.

My brother, a country that really develops is a country where LAW and ORDER is VIGOROUSLY ENFORCED. A country where when you go against the law, you are arrested and dealt with according to what the law says without an aota of favouritism.
No country can really develop when it always having leaders who are clueless when it comes to leading a country, leaders who careless about whatever everybody does anyhow and anywhere in the country, leaders whose main focus is how loot the country's coffers.
The problem with Ghana is that instead of LEADERS, what we always have since 1992 are LOOTERS who once a while will come up with a so-called clearing of unauthorised structures or markets for Ghanaians to see that they are working.

The laws prohibiting such negative behaviour are unambiguous.

We have REFUSED to ENFORCE them! We have created an OVER-ENTITLED MONSTER by our 'pacifist' inaction.

Indiscipline has become a national standard and we glory in it!

Like corruption, a staple of an indisciplined society, the quantifiable cost of the latter as a factor of societal degradation and diminishing quality of life in Ghana is mind-numbing.

We have to collectively agree a re-set at all levels regardless of whose ox is gored. If we don't, we will remain a backward backwater pretending to be making progress while wallowing in a cesspool of deathly mediocrity.

No normal Ghanaian will want to see our country become the next HAITI. And yet, below the surface, we're steadily easiing ourselves in that direction, naively oblivious to the ramifications and covering it with a thin veneer of 'crooked respectability'.

Enough said.

My beloved idiots ànd left left voting imbeciles,street selling started with the Founder of your party,if you're somebody in NDC tell John Mahama to complete and operationalise 1D1F and some these people will have no business coming to Accra,there are by-laws and regulàtions governing selling in unauthorised areas,the MCE must let these by-laws and regulations work by putting people before Sanitation courts and see the difference that will make.

Sincerely, some of these traders must be made to return to their home towns. Accra is getting choked with all the villagers (some of them unemployable) trooping in to find something to sell, in the absence of any jobs.

I don't any word to describe most people commenting here. How do a person with human brain ague that people who are Ghanaians be sent back to their hometowns? Have sent back the buggers and criminals from our neighboring countries who are causing havoc on our city streets? Of course the mayor has to do whatever it to brjng sanity to our capital but that argument about sending some people to where they migrated from is just dump. They have the right to relocate wherever they want in ghana because they are Ghanaians. How people who dedicate on our beaches? What do you say to them? And go to Nima and Newtown and see how dirty the place looks.

For my money anyone found trading or erecting any an unauthorised structures on a public site should be arrested immediately and charged. Heavy penalties of imprisonment and fines should be slapped on them. Anyone found to be aiding and abetting such acts should be arrested and charged accordingly. Ghanaians have become lawless with such entitlement of public property with impunity. WHY should we allow or entertain such acts of Lawlessness?
