The situation in the country,especially in the cities is very bad when it comes to selling. They want to take over every space or corner,why? It is fine to sell but must it be done right on the street or at an underpass? Sometimes right next to gutters filled with very putrid stuff. The authorities must act and do so quickly.

There's too much indiscipline in Ghana. People believe they have the birthright to do whatever they want and nobody can challenge them.

In the country that I live in, you are not allowed to put a table in front of your own house and sell anything, let alone selling on a footbridge, or pathway.

Indiscipline is Rawlings legacy. Before him, there was a semblance of discipline in Ghana. Rawlings and his NDC have made Ghanaians undisciplined and liars.

@Rawlings legacy

You're either a historical revisionist, suffering from selective amnesia, a complete simpleton repeating rank political nonsense or just a plain, stereotypically rabid matemeho tribalist hack who hates Rawlings because he established the very opposite of what you so conveniently accuse him of.

Prior to Rawlings' regime, Ghana was in a hellish delirium worse than Haiti. The "Nana Addo syndrome" was in full swing and the ordinary man had absolutely no voice or dignity.

You have NO IDEA how far we have travelled. Please don't speak of what you do not know.

In Accra everyone wants to be a trader. So people go and 'set up shop', be it table top, unsmder foot bridge, bus stop etc. In some places, it is said that, if one takes a trip for about a week and returns, he will have difficulty entering his home because traders would have started tabletop trading in front of his gate! Why? Because the gate has not been opened for a few days. Ghanaians sometimes, are just lawless. Everyone wants to buy and sell. Pity.

Our institutions are not functioning well. Under normal circumstances, whoever is responsible at the assembly should be held for negligence of duty, prosecuted and fined or jailed. But as usual no one will be held accountable for not preventing commercial activities on the footbridge. We can not develop as a nation without maintaining law and order in the country. Ethiopia is doing very well on this front.

The only solution to this hawkish attitude in Ghana, is for our government to start developing our rural areas on gradual basis as way to keep people in their localities else, trust me, a time will come that people cannot walk past one another in Accra.

The message from our politicians to the Ghanaian is simple, "Move to Accra and become a problem else, we don't see or hear from you". I don't know how old you are, but can't you see that these unruly behaviors are increasing on daily basis because our population is growing?

I think we may be going about this whole thing the wrong way.This is what i think.
When policemen compromise standards or engage with illegal sellers, it undermines the rule of law and very disgraceful to the force.However, for both the sellers and the law enforcement officers, these informal economic interactions are often driven by basic financial survival.

The fix: Stricter internal affairs and better compensation for police must happen alongside economic relief, or enforcement will remain a game of cat-and-mouse.
Governments frequently launch "clean-up" campaigns to clear footbridges and sidewalks by force. Without a viable alternative, this always fails because people cannot simply stop earning a living.
The Solution: Alternate Space.
Building massive, designated municipal markets with proper foot traffic, sanitation, and affordable stall fees before clearing public pathways.
Mindset Change:• Public education campaigns to stop people from buying on footbridges are highly necessary but slow-moving. Customers buy there because it is convenient; vendors sell there because it is highly visible.
Behavioral change only sticks when the unauthorized choice becomes more difficult through consistent, fair policing and the authorized choice becomes more attractive (well-organized markets).
Prioritize Ahead of Eviction: Build the massive markets first, make them affordable, and ensure they have direct transport links (trotro stations integrated inside) so the foot traffic is guaranteed.
Industrialize the Economy: As long as informal retail is the only survival mechanism for millions of young Ghanaians, the streets will remain choked. Transitioning the economy toward local assembly and manufacturing plants is the only way to transform these street vendors into stable wage earners.
