The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the Assembly, Albert Boakye Okyere, said the taskforce has been charged to permanently stop traders from breaching road markings to sell their goods.
According to him, a 30-man taskforce team has been put together to patrol the streets in a bid to ward off any potential street traders.
He further disclosed that plans are underway to relocate the traders to a more suitable place.
“We are not going back, we will station people here permanently while we also find an alternative space for the traders,” Mr. Okyere added.
