The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the Ga West Municipal Assembly on Thursday, July 15, 2021, started an exercise to rid off hawkers trading along the newly constructed Pokuase interchange.
A task force on Thursday morning demolished all makeshift structures belonging to hawkers around the Pokuase Interchange.
Just after a week after the interchange was commissioned, some traders have started engaging in different trading activities on the pavements.
But the Assembly says it would not allow traders to engage in the illegality.
Rainbow Radio’s Nhyiraba Kwabena Asirifi, who visited the area, reported that a task force from the Assembly was at the scene to ensure the traders are moved to the central market.
Assemblyman of the Pokuase Gabby Yeboah Tackie said some of the traders cooperated with the task force whereas, some resisted.
He asked the traders not to use the pavement as a market because they would stop by the task force.
He added that the activities of street hawkers along the Pokuase interchange are one of the causes of traffic congestion, and the Assembly would entertain that.
