The former mayor of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), Alfred Okoe Vanderpuije has said sub-dividing the Assembly all in the name of creating new Assemblies in not the best.
According to the former mayor, there is “no AMA”, today the AMA has become only Osu and Ga Mashie.
What are we doing to this “mother body AMA” are we creating new Municipalities, “how is this mother body AMA as the capital city going to mobilize resources needed to function”, he remarked.
Mr. Alfred Okoe Vanderpuije wondered how challenging issues like sanitation and transportation that is confronting the capital is going to be dealt with if AMA is being sub divided, knowing very well that the capital receives so many people into the capital every day.
Waste is generated every day, both liquid and solid; the capital will not be able to function very well, “like a glass that holds water, when you drop it you get fragment of water, that glass is no more a glass that can hold water, that is what we have done to the capital city”, he bemoaned.
