  "account": "A task force from the Ayawaso West Municipal Assembly has given 37 military hospital traders seven days to clear a pedestrian walkway in Accra. The traders have been occupying the walkway around the hospital, obstructing pedestrian movement. The Assembly's task force has begun marking containers and structures along the affected area, preparing for a potential forced eviction if the traders do not comply. The affected traders have been instructed to vacate the walkway and remove their belongings within the one-week timeframe. This action aims to restore the pedestrian space, allowing people to navigate the area without obstacles. The task force plans to return after the deadline to enforce compliance, with structures belonging to non-compliant traders facing potential removal. The Assembly's efforts are part of broader initiatives to reclaim pedestrian walkways for public use and address the occupation by traders.",
