The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has said it will rigorously enforce its by-laws to sanitize the Accra Metropolis.<\/p>\n
The Assembly has also announced its major plan to beautify the capital through some projects to be rolled out soon.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”bnoxfnV7Lmksnpk3twjOt9hyWbsAvl9k”]The Metropolitan Chief Executive of Accra, Adjei Sowah, at a press conference said the measures will ensure that the city becomes the cleanest city in Africa.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe shall soon publish the Accra City beautification plan which will lay out our plans for promoting stunning architectural designs, urban landscaping, beautification of open spaces and tree planting actions among others.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must enforce our by-laws. Our existing by-laws will be stringently enforced. We have therefore initiated a holistic review of the by-laws. Penal consequences for breaching the laws of the city will be hashed. Offenders will no longer be handled with kid gloves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Assembly has come under intense pressure over its seeming loss of control in managing the city space which is evident in the quantum of filth and level indiscipline<\/strong><\/span><\/a> by motorists within the metropolis.<\/p>\n Citi News<\/strong> has in the last few weeks exposed the sickening situation of sanitation and waste management within the metropolis.<\/p>\n Open dumping of waste along major streets appears common in most parts of the metropolis with very little being done to check the menace.<\/p>\n But the Mr. Sowah believes that things will change for the better.<\/p>\n
