“I CAN only succeed in making Accra work again if we support and make the campaign a collective responsibility,” the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Mr. Henry Quartey, has said.
“As the representative and servant of the President, I must work to ensure that things are done right. Those squatting and erecting unauthorized structures have been engaged many times and notices served them. The train has taken off and it will not stop now,” he added.
The minister, who was speaking during a visit to the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL), one of the companies along the Obetsebi-Lamptey-Farisco Road where the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) carried out a decongestion and clean-up exercise last Tuesday, said Accra was losing its reputation as a tourist destination due to congestion and filth.
Among companies along that stretch of road are Accra Brewery, Japan Motors, Rana Motors, Pepsi, Letap, among other business establishments.
Mr. Quartey held discussions with the acting Managing Director of the GCGL, Mr Franklin Sowa; the Editor of the Daily Graphic, the flagship brand of the GCGL, Mr. Kobby Asmah, and a Deputy News Editor of the Daily Graphic, Mr Kwame Asare Boadu.
In the minister’s entourage were the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Director, Ms Felicia Dapaah, and the Regional Economic Planning Officer, Ms Jemima Lomotey.
