The Greater Accra Regional Minister Henry Quartey has announced that traders who will defy directive which prevents them from selling in the streets in the capital would be prosecuted.
He said, the Ministry as part of the ‘Operation Clean Your Frontage’, went to the congestion areas including Kaneshie, Graphic Road, Circle, and all the other areas and made it clear to the traders that they cannot sell on the streets.
He warned that after the Easter holidays, anybody who is found selling on the street will be prosecuted.
”All those selling on the streets after the Easter Holidays, move to the matter to do business,” he said.
To do this, 1,000 out of the 3,500 persons trained by the military have successfully passed out and would be deployed for the exercise.
The guards, he said, will be in full force from next week to ensure the by-laws are fully enforced or implemented.
He stressed that all those who sell on the streets should move to their various markets or designated places and sell or risk being prosecuted.
Meanwhile, he has also announced that the Region will kick start the ‘Operation Clean Your Frontage’ in Tema from next week as they requested.
All MMDAss have been directed to ensure that these directives are carried out to the fullest, he concluded.
