Traders and commercial drivers in Nkawkaw, located in the Kwahu West Municipality of the Eastern Region, have been given a two-week ultimatum to vacate unauthorized trading and parking spaces, as the Municipal Assembly prepares to launch a major decongestion exercise.
Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Kwahu West, Tamimu Halidu, announced that the operation is scheduled to begin on June 9, 2025.
The initiative seeks to remove encroachments on pavements and clear areas of illegal parking to enhance the free flow of traffic and pedestrian movement within the township.
Mr. Halidu stated that the exercise will be carried out in collaboration with traditional authorities in Nkawkaw. He expressed firm commitment to the operation, emphasizing that he remains undeterred by possible resistance or threats from affected individuals.
The Assembly has urged all affected persons to relocate to designated areas to avoid forced removal when the exercise begins.
