King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II Champions a Cleaner Accra: A Royal Endorsement for Urban Renewal
In a significant show of solidarity, His Royal Majesty King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, the Ga Mantse, has wholeheartedly thrown his support behind the ongoing decongestion initiative in Accra. The initiative, spearheaded by Mayor Hon. Michael Kpakpo Allotey, aims to restore order and enhance the cleanliness of the bustling capital. During a recent visit to the Ga Traditional Council (GTC) at Kaneshie, the Mayor was accompanied by Hon. Alfred Ato Allotey-Gaisie, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Korle Klottey, to update traditional leaders on this vital campaign.
With an ever-growing urban population and bustling commerce, Accra has faced challenges in maintaining its cleanliness. However, the Ga Mantse commended the Mayor for his “wonderful signs” of progress, particularly in the Central Business District (CBD). His Royal Majesty noted that the Mayor’s early actions in this initiative are worthy of encouragement and support.
“If not for the fact that we are in our festive season, we would have poured libation for you today,” remarked the Ga King. He expressed his admiration for the Mayor’s commitment to a cleaner Accra and a healthier environment for commerce to flourish.
To amplify the message of cleanliness and discipline, the Ga Mantse pledged the support of the Traditional Council, including plans for public appearances to raise awareness on this issue. He announced intentions to collaborate with the Mayor in exploring best practices for urban cleanliness in other countries, showcasing an openness to international partnerships in the pursuit of urban renewal.
The Mayor, in turn, expressed his deep appreciation for the guidance offered by the Ga Traditional Council. He emphasized the importance of seeking direction and blessings before tackling the pressing issues facing the city’s cleanliness. “Accra is dirty, and I needed to come here to seek direction before I proceed. If I go wrong along the way, I want you to correct me,” he affirmed.
During the meeting, MCE Hon. Alfred Ato Allotey-Gaisie highlighted the significance of their visit, noting that they had only recently been appointed to lead the decongestion efforts in Korle Klottey. Sempe Mantse, Nii Adote Otintor II, also joined the discussion, commending the President for choosing Hon. Allotey and urging a collaborative spirit among all stakeholders for the betterment of Ga and Accra.
The Mayor’s visit is part of a broader strategy aimed at fostering community consensus, underlining a “reset” agenda focused on cleanliness, safety, and economic inclusivity in the capital city. This collaborative effort underscores a commitment to enhancing urban living conditions while promoting civic responsibility among residents.
As Accra navigates the challenges of urban growth and development, the united front presented by traditional authorities and municipal leaders could herald a brighter, cleaner future for its citizens.
