The Executive Committee of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (A.M.A.) has unanimously adopted a comprehensive set of initiatives presented by Mayor Michael Kpakpo Allotey to mark a new phase in the city’s governance and development strategy.
The initiatives, which target sanitation, urban order, economic inclusion, digital enforcement, climate action, and infrastructure development, were adopted on Tuesday during the maiden Executive Committee meeting following the Mayor’s confirmation by Assembly Members.
They include the 24-Hour Clean Accra Initiative, Mayor’s Special Ball, the Special Weekend Trading Initiative, the establishment of the A.M.A. City Authority Guards, the introduction of a 24-Hour Ticketing Cycle, the Green Accra Initiative, and a comprehensive Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Programme for urban redevelopment and infrastructure enhancement.
MayorAllotey explained that the 24-Hour Clean Accra Initiative sought to introduce a three-shift sanitation system and waste segregation to ensure continuous cleanliness and job creation, while the Mayor’s Special Ball aimed to mobilise funding for critical infrastructure, education, health, and sanitation projects through public-private collaboration.
He pointed out that the Special Weekend Trading Initiative institutionalises designated vending days and spaces to promote lawful, organised trading and reduce congestion, adding that the formation of the A.M.A. City Authority Guards was intended to strengthen bylaw enforcement and safeguard public spaces.
