The Accra Metropolitan Assembly [AMA], is demanding that all illegal structures along the Accra-Tema motorway be demolished by the Ghana Highways Authority.<\/p>\n
The AMA has asked GHA to take the removal of all illegal structures seriously.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”8SySw35o4PUxz20dh3t9el9pdwjeBtGk”]Speaking to the press after a tour of some sub-metros, the Chief Executive of AMA, Mohammed Adjei Sowah, said AMA is going to collaborate with GHA to ensure implementation of any decision taken by GHA in the clearing of these structures.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe think that the Ghana Highway Authority should also step up, every government agency should step up and do your work, because once these things happen, the people of Accra do not know GHA, so we have to make sure they also step up. When we went there, we saw that GHA has marked a lot of the structures, \u2018GHA remove\u2019, and then they abandoned it, so we are going to collaborate with them to ensure that whatever decision is taken is implemented to the fullest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to the AMA, most dwellers in these structures have refused to relocate, although GHA has ordered them to move.<\/p>\n
Mohammed\u00a0Adjei Sowah said the Assembly will engage the highways Authority to ensure that action is taken to keep the city clean.<\/p>\n
