Henry Quartey, the Regional Minister for Greater Accra, has ordered motorists and peddlers on the George Walker Bush highway in Apenkwa to leave the area.
The Minister cautioned that anyone seen on the road engaged in any form of transaction, as well as any vehicles that halt on the stretch of road, will be detained and prosecuted during an interview with Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo” show.
He asserts that drivers and commuters are both put at risk by activities on the road.
The former President John Agyekum Kufour erected the Achimota bus terminal, which the Minister declared unequivocally the commercial bus drivers and hawkers must relocate to.
“We will make an announcement on the 1st of October. We will be there every day. We will plead with Dr Dampare to authorize his Police officers to arrest any car that will stop there as well as any person who alights there . . . we will plead with the Police to do about two or three months of exercise. Those arrested will be sent to court and fined,” he stated.
