Less than a week after the Chief Executive of the\u00a0Accra Metropolitan Assembly<\/strong>\u00a0led a team to clear hawkers off pavements in the metropolis, among other things, some of the hawkers returned to occupy the pavements again on Sunday.<\/p>\n The pavements had been cleared from last Monday during the decongestion\u00a0exercise, but shoes, dresses, phone accessories and other wares were again on sale by vendors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The sight at the Nkrumah Circle would have done little to assuage the concerns of skeptics who may have grown numb to these decongestion exercises which now seem to be annual occurrences.<\/p>\n Last week, Citi News<\/strong> was with the AMA when the MCE and his team visited the Central Business District, Kwame Nkrumah interchange, Tip-toe lane, Kokomlemle among other areas to destroy illegal structures and eject hawkers.<\/p>\n
