The Mayor of Accra, Michael Kpakpo Allotey, has maintained that the ongoing decongestion exercise is not going to be a nine-day wonder”.
He reiterated his commitment to restoring order in the Central Business District (CBD).
Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, May 20, after the rollout of the operation, the mayor stated that the exercise will be sustained until all unauthorised structures and street obstructions are removed.
“This exercise is not a nine-day wonder; we are on the street till we make sure that the roads are clear. We are not done. For the next hour, we are going back to the street. From here we are going to Circle, and if there is more strength, we will go to Kaneshie. Then we continue tomorrow,” the mayor stated.
The Ama launched the exercise on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, in collaboration with the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly (KoKMA).
The decongestion exercise is part of the broader effort to tackle congestion, enforce city by-laws, and enhance sanitation across key areas of the capital.
The first phase of the exercise is focused on areas around the AMA Head Office, including Kinbu Road to Railways, ECG Junction to the King Tackie Tawiah Statue, and Opera Square to Adabraka.
