AMA desilts drains at CBD, urges traders to halt littering

The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) desilted major drains in the Central Business District on June 6 to improve wastewater flow and mitigate flooding from heavy rains.

Led by Hon Francis Asare, the effort targeted refuse-clogged drains primarily blocked by market traders' waste.

Asare criticized traders, especially those selling second-hand items, for dumping refuse into drains.

He urged collective action to enhance city sanitation and warned of penalties for violations.
