AMA issues “final warning” to hawkers,
beggars
Accra, March 1, GNA - The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA)
on Monday said in spite of several warnings, hawkers and
other petty traders were still operating at traffic
intersections on pavements and unauthorized places in the
city and warned that they would be arrested.
A release issued by the Public Relations Department of the
AMA said it had also come to their notice that some beggars
were also operating at prohibited areas.
“The AMA wishes to issue a final warning to all those
concerned that a task force, which is going round to arrest
such offenders will deal mercilessly with them when caught,”
the release said.
The release said 49 offenders had already been put before
court, with some sentenced to prison terms.
“All those engaging in such illegal activities are warned to
desist from them in order to avoid going to jail or paying a
heavy fine,” it added.
