Oko, forget it. There is no position for you in the Mahama government. Your time is up. Nobody will work with you on anything. You are greedy and a cheat and you will never be happy with the wealth you've acquired during your tenure as CEO of Accra. Give the folks an alternative and then you can kick them out of their working joints. How do you think they survive? By jumping walls and stealing and killing?

The nuisance in the central district is an aye sore and these hawkers should find an alternative place rather than always blaming and blaming. Cant we for one time do something right. The law is saying you cannot hawk in a specific area and you say no I will. Our culture of not respecting the law is very bad.

Street hawking can NEVER be eradicated, at least not in the next four generations, when hopefully the rate of literacy would reach about 80 - 90%. But more importantly we should not forget that some of the hawkers are wives and daughters/sons of some of the members of the law-enforcing agencies. These hawkers are those who are the real 'breadwinners', whilst these 'monthly paid' workers use their wages and salaries to chase women. Buying them clothing, fried-rice, beer/guinness and taking them to hotels and rest-houses for PLEASURE. So you think these law-enforcement agencies would standby and watch their 'breadwinners' thrown out of work? Tweaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

It is all about law-abiding and prodcutive citizens of a nation that is striving to find its niche....these hawkers are a blight on our nation and the earlier they heed instructions to stay out of heavily congested areas of Accra, the better the future will be for them, or else, they should be prepared for harsh actions from authorities who want a less noisy and little congested central Accra for obvious reasons.....

is hawking the only way to make a living? .. i think another solution is to arrest and fine those who buy from these people...if there are no buyers, there will be no sellers... MTTU can start by arresting drivers and their passengers who buy from people at the stop light...when that works then move it to the streets .... but going after the traders while there are people who buy from them will not work... go after the buyers not the sellers... if you know you will be arrested for buying on the street... you will go into the marktet to buy..simple as that

Provide an alternative for them at several designated spots throughout the city and impose a monthly fee on all the hawkers who take advantage of these hawkers markets or marts. All the hawkmarts should have distinct colors and logos to distinguish the hawkers and their specific locations, making it illegal for them to roam about.

Where are the jobs for the youth? Mind you, some of the great business people in Ghana started of as hawkers. Stupid leaders who can't think organically.

WE AS PEOPLE SHOULD GROW UP AND MAKE CHANGES IN OUR SOCIETY. STREET HAWKING SHOULD NOW BE A THING OF THE PAST. OUR AFRICAN CITIES ARE GGROWING AND WE HAVE TO LEARN TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY INSTEAD OF THE OLD WAYS OUR PARENTS AND GRAND PARENTS WENT TO THE MARKET PLACE. I THINK IT'S DESPICABLE AND DISGUSTING THE WAY HAWKERS CROWD OUR MAIN AND MAJOR STREETS DURING BUSINESS HOURS, MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR PEDESTRAINS TO EVEN FIND THEIR WAY. THE MAJORITY OF THOSE HAWKERS WILL CRY WOLF AND SAY THAT IS THEIR ONLY WAY OF PAYING THEIR KIDS TUITION, AND THAT'S NONSENSE, FIND ANOTHER PROFESSION. GHANAIANS WANT TO QUICKLY COPY THE WESTERN LIFE STYLE BUT DONT WANT TO SECUMB TO THE DISCIPLINE THAT LIFE STYLE ENCOMPASSES. QUICK FIX MENTALITY GHANAIANS, EASY MONEY A... HOLES PEOPLE. GO BACK TO YOUR F...ING VILLAGES AND DO THAT OVER THERE. THIS IS THE CAPITAL OF GHANA AND IT NEEDS TO BE CLEAN.
