  "account": "The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has initiated a recruitment drive for additional revenue collectors, town council officers, and city guards to bolster its efforts in revenue mobilization, sanitation, and law enforcement across the city. Mayor Michael Kpakpo Allotey announced the recruitment during a meeting with residents and youth in Bukom on September 14th, 2026. Allotey stated that the Assembly requires more personnel to effectively maintain cleanliness, order, and discipline in the metropolis, as existing officers are insufficient to cover the entire area. The recruitment includes positions for day and night revenue collectors, cleaners, town council officers, toll collectors, and city guards. The Mayor emphasized that the Assembly aims to rebuild a stronger town council system capable of maintaining order within communities. This recruitment is part of the broader \"Reset Accra\" agenda, which seeks to change attitudes, create employment opportunities, and involve residents, particularly the youth, in the capital's transformation. The AMA has been addressing regulatory breaches, including a case involving an animal-rearing facility in Bukom that went to court. The Assembly aims to enforce its by-laws fairly, regardless of political affiliations. Allotey appealed to the youth in Bukom, Odododiodio, and surrounding communities to cooperate with the Assembly, stating that the success of Accra's transformation relies on the active involvement of residents. He assured residents that affected traders and occupants would be given adequate notice to relocate voluntarily, and the administration prefers engagement and reasonable notice over demolition. Allotey assured that the Assembly will continue its interventions to improve Bukom, Odododiodio, and neighboring communities, focusing on creating a cleaner, safer, and more peaceful environment for young people. He encouraged unemployed youth to seek employment opportunities through the AMA and urged residents to participate in the drive to keep Accra clean, orderly, and safe.",
