Former Member of Parliament for Ablekuma Central, Ebenezer Gilbert Nii Narh Nartey, has predicted that the Accra Metropolitan Assembly’s ongoing decongestion exercise will be effective for only seven months.
Speaking on Joy Prime, he said that political challenges will prevent the continuation of the project, adding that its effectiveness will end on the last day of the year.
“This project that the AMA Mayor as well as Chief Executive for Korle Klottey have decided to do will only last for 7 months. It will end on the 31st of December, 2025. If it goes beyond that, I’ll give them a thumbs up but I know it will not go beyond that because the political woes will not permit them to do what they want to do,” he confidently told the host KMJ.
He further stated that all affairs of the country have been politicized, with every year perceived as an election year by both the government and the opposition. This, he explained, makes it challenging for parties in government to address issues with firmness and fairness.
“We’re living in a country where everything we do in this country is politics. In fact, every year is an election year whether you’re in government or opposition. So you don’t have the political will to deal with issues as you want to.”
The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) commenced its decongestion exercise on Monday, May 19, in the Central Business District, led by the Mayor, Michael Kpakpo Allotey.
Mr. Allotey has reintroduced the Red Line concept (no-go limits) to stop trading activities from spilling onto the streets and enhance the movement of vehicles and pedestrians.
