The Accra Metropolitan Assembly is actively seeking new personnel to enhance city services and community cleanliness.
Applications are now open for revenue collectors, town council officers, city guards, and public health personnel. This recruitment drive, announced by Mayor Michael Kpakpo Allotey, aims to strengthen revenue mobilization and law enforcement across Accra.
Accra’s Recruitment Drive for City Services
The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) is expanding its workforce to address pressing needs in sanitation and law enforcement. Mayor Allotey emphasized the necessity for more personnel, stating that existing staff are insufficient to cover the metropolis effectively.
The initiative is part of the broader “Reset Accra” agenda, which aims to engage residents, especially the youth, in transforming the capital. The Mayor highlighted the importance of community involvement in achieving a cleaner and more orderly environment.
Community Engagement and Responsibilities
Mayor Allotey has called for cooperation from the youth in areas like Bukom and Odododiodio to support the Assembly’s efforts. He reiterated that the AMA’s mandate is to protect all residents and enforce by-laws fairly, regardless of political affiliations.
The Mayor also addressed ongoing regulatory issues, including a court case involving an animal-rearing facility in Bukom. He assured residents that the Assembly would prioritize engagement and provide adequate notice before enforcing any measures.
Next Steps for Accra’s Transformation
- Recruitment of additional personnel for city services.
- Continued community engagement initiatives.
- Implementation of measures to improve cleanliness and safety.
Accra’s future depends on active community participation and effective governance.
