Clear streets of hawkers, destitute
Dear Sir,
I want to use this platform to appeal to the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly (KoKMA) to rid the streets of hawkers to make it convenient for commuters.
These hawkers have been on the streets, especially the Kwame Nkrumah Circle area for some time with a few attributing their stay there to political expediency.
Every inch of space for pedestrians have been covered by their activities, leaving commuters to sometimes walk on the streets with the vehicles.
As if that is not enough, the rest of the space has been occupied by destitute and ‘junkies’.
With the election over, the Assembly must be seen to be clearing the mess these group of people have created.
Fact is, moving around the area has become a challenge as one has to tread carefully in order not to step on any wares on sale.
It is not a good and comfortable sight at all and I believe this will be the right time to clear the area to ensure some sanity in the area.
Regina,
Bubiashie
