[@paakwegyir3165]

I think Regional ministers should be voted for not on party lines but on individual merits as the people see fit for the job.. People like this need to be in office for as long as they can so as to instill discipline.. Should the current government lose we shall lose him too.. Elections should only be for Parliament and president.. The rest being regional minister, dce and mce must be voted for by constituents without any political party influence. We need leaders like this. 👍✌️

[@TheRideandPlace]

This is something that should have been started a veeery loong time ago. Accra is the capital and the face of Ghana. This indiscipline should not be allowed, especially in the capital. No country has developed with such indiscipline. Everyone has the right to a living, yes, but trade should be plied at designated places. Keep up the good work and make this permanent. Accra must be need and beautiful for all.

[@yawgh4650]

Everybody thinks they can move from villages and town, an come to Accra. and mess up is very bad.

[@beyawnmortals9148]

It's unfortunate yes, but that is what happens when you only develop one area of the whole country. If every region has the infrastructure and amenities like Accra , there would be less congesting everywhere.

[@chod65th95]

Well most villages and towns in this country are underdeveloped so you really can’t blame dem

[@Inkatown-six]

Then they turn around to blame the Ga people because Accra is dirty, those villages are the ones that flock Accra and dirty it.

This is what i have been wanting to see all these years.Its incredible how some of the authorities just stood aloof to watch this indiscipline behavior take place over the years.Infact it has almost been normalized to the extent that you are made to appear as wicked or without compassion if you talk about these people being sacked from there.But that shouldn't be case.We are the same ppl who compare Ghana to western countries and insult our leaders but when our leaders now decide to bring the change we seem to be screaming about we resist it.

[@chod65th95]

[@desmondpaintisil4568]

I fully agree with you bro. Mensah Sowa, he is the most useless ama boss that Accra has ever had. I personally dont know why Nana Addo is still keeping that man in the office. Now the traders have taking over the pavement along the stretch of road in front of the Graphic Corporation and Accra Breweries, to the extent that these evil traders have taken over the car packs of these companies and are selling all kinds of meat, fish vegetables and others and everybody is quite. What kind of unregulated society is this. I have been to many countries in Africa and you don't see trading activities on the streets. You just come to the capital city of Ghana, everything is messed up. Is a shame.

[@lindaofori3914]

Now ban plastic bags in the country and implement no loitering and littering by putting litter facilities everywhere . The mindset have to change. Just like Rwanda and Kenya Clean the gutters and introduce pavements for the people to walk on and not walking on the street. Clean the beaches Espicially in Accra. Introduce toilets .clean toilets Got a long way to go but it can be done. With perseverance and changing mindset . Love Ghana .

[@odurofelix815]

Good job sir 👍

[@harrietacquah2545]

So how long has this been going on? Who authorized them to cut down the trees? This must be punishable by law. Anyone found selling on medians must be jailed to serve as a deterrent. Ghanaians are too undisciplined.

[@brakwame8293]

I'm curious. Is this kind of job not the AMA's responsibility? I'm glad action is taking place though but how come i don't hear or see AMA in these matters? Kindly educate me, fellow Ghanaians.

[@tvs9978]

Its simple, if we pay taxes, the AMA will have the money to do its job. If we don't pay taxes, it will have no funds and someone else will have to fix the issues.

All this cat and mouse games have been tried before. 'Bulldozing and clearing' have all been tried and tested before your time. It does have a small effect...temporarily. But you'll get tired and they'll come back. They'll always be more of them than you. A more sustainable approach - and the key word is 'sustainable' - if you want the discipline to remain and no more after you're gone and this not be just during your time (flash in a pan - which is how we should think and not just when I'm in power) is to put the onus or obligation of keeping roads and pavements clear on pedestrians, drivers and all other road users instead. The bye-laws should rather punish all who purchase anything while on the road side while there is a market nearby. You should then also have in the bye-laws, rewards for those who report a pedestrian or other road users who stop to buy from along the road side by recording them with phones or submitting documentary evidence to show the guilty. Trust me within a month, when no ones buys from traders by the roadside and they see they cannot sell unless they are in legitimate places like designated markets? Voila - done. Clean streets for ever more. The slogan should be: "If you buy on the road, you pay later"! God bless our homeland, Ghana. That's how it's done in some European countries, Rwanda, etc.

[@kwamescratch6727]

Brother all these laws are there but the assembly isn’t enforcing them because they go take market tolls from them so the minister has started working to show leadership by example so afterwards tasks the assemblies to continue and failure to do so the head of the assembly would be dismissed because he said he has the president’s backing so let’s all help as citizens to fight this act of indiscipline and also change our attitude and mindsets as people because we do not need authorities to always be on us for us to do the right things
