The AMA clarified that its consultations began on July 9, 2026, and included meetings with the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, Ga Traditional Council, and traders at Agbogbloshie. The assembly also disclosed that representatives participating in the stakeholder engagements received transportation allowances of not less than GH¢3,000 per meeting.
