Okaikwei South's Member of Parliament, Dr. Ernest Adomako, has voiced his disapproval of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly's actions during the decongestion exercise at Kwame Nkrumah Circle. Despite his support for the removal of traders from bus stops to facilitate smoother traffic flow and pedestrian movement, Dr. Adomako is deeply troubled by the destruction of traders' properties.
During a visit to affected traders, he called for a more compassionate approach to the exercise, emphasizing the importance of protecting the livelihoods of those impacted. Dr. Adomako plans to meet with Accra's Mayor to address the challenges faced by traders and explore a more permanent resolution for those operating around bus stops at Circle.
Some affected traders have welcomed Dr. Adomako's visit and expressed their concern over their predicament, urging the authorities to consider their needs and find a solution that allows them to continue their businesses without impeding public spaces. This situation is unfolding amidst broader efforts by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly and Korle Klottey to clear major roads and bus stops in the capital city to enhance traffic flow and restore order.
