The traders are back again
Dear Editor,
About three months ago, I wrote to commend the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly (KOKMA) for bringing sanity to the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange when it re-demarcated the area and ‘pushed’ the traders back to the market.
But it appears the good initiative is not achieving its objective after all. I have been using the stretch lately and still have to ‘squeeze’ myself through the crowd that has returned to the pavement.
I find it hard to understand why some of the traders fail to comply with simple directives until authorities are compelled to apply some level of force.
It is true that times are hard and people have to work hard to survive but we have been told that businesses on the pavement do not serve the best interest of traders and the pedestrians, hence the need for them to operate at designated spaces.
The emerging chaos at the interchange may get out of hand if the KOKMA re-moblises its taskforce once again to enforce law and order.
Lucy Quist,
