End hawking on Kaneshie Foot Bridge

 Dear Editor,

Hawking on the Kaneshie foot bridge has made it in­creasingly difficult for commuters that use the facility on daily basis.

Foot bridges are constructed to ensure the safety of pedes­trians, accessibility to places, among others.

However, using the Kaneshie foot bridge has become so frustrating due to the activities of traders who sell on it. Most of them sell on either side of the bridge, leaving only a narrow space for users.

Worse of all, these traders rather get annoyed when some users of the foot bridge mistakenly step on any of the items on display and rain insults on them.

On one such occasion, I had to get into an argument with one of the traders when she insulted me for mistakenly step­ping on one of the items she was selling.

Ghanaians, adore and admire countries in Europe and even North Africa for how well some of these things are structured. A few people who have stayed in those countries would tell you that these don’t happen in advanced countries.

However, the situation in Ghana is rather the opposite, and that can baffle sometimes.

I believe we need a total change of attitude. Citizens must be forced to do what is right.

The law enforcement agencies at the Metropolitan, Munici­pal, and District Assemblies should also make sure that these traders who have taken over the Kaneshie foot bridge are moved to allow some sanity on the facility.

Osei Banahene,
