Mr Nyantakyi tell the lawless traders to respect the law and not to disrespect the law and always behave like uncontrollable animals.The neo-colonialist values of Amnesty International are not applicable in situations where there is blatant disregard for the law. What is Amnesty International doing to stop the rampant killing of law enforcement officers in Ghana? We don't need Amnesty International to lecture us on how persistent law-breakers should be treated.

What is the rule of law this guy is talking about? There is not law that allows them to sell there, therefore they are rather breaking to law. Just shut up you fool. If you want to play politics, bring it on.

The first of these law breakers are politicians of which he is one. When people find it difficult to feed themselves, their survival instincts in. If politicians cannot provide jobs or an environment that creates jobs, people will find their way to cater for themselves. Politicians are supposed to develop markets for traders. They collect taxes and tolls from these same traders. I bet you it is traders’ taxes that buy the V8s and all the super-luxury benefits the KMA CEO enjoys. Politicians take everything from taxes, income from our resources (the gold, oil, and the likes) to taxes, send their children abroad for everything except their burial, and still threaten to beat up the struggling Ghanaians. What at all are the sins Ghanaians have committed to be condemned into such hellish economy. Even where they build the markets, they sell the stalls to themselves and rent them to the Ghanaian at cut throat prices. Let him try to flog anyone and he will see the fury of the downtrodden. Very soon they will come to the realization that ‘enough is enough’. Such supporting these wickedly foolish behaviors blindly.

When you make your fellow human being hungry. He becomes fearless for survival. Let's create jobs on all fronts for the people. Let's decentralise the markets properly with functional structures to reduce congestion rather.

Mr mayor I support your action 100% but first look inside your team before taking any action. These same people who you're going to use to whip the recalcitrant traders are the same people who will leak any information to them. They collect monies from these traders every morning and allow them to sell. I'm saying this because i know it for a fact. I have a shop at Roman Hill area. Please check from within before embarking on this best solution or eles your people will let you down.

This nonsense must stop. All the human rights, human rights but we never talk about responsibility of the humans. It is this our listening to this nonsense of human rights that has landed us in this mess as a country. Since you are Amnesty International and has oversight over the world over human rights, why don't you go to Saudi, UAE, Iran, etc. and talk about the flogging of people for their misconduct? Even the USA that you are getting your inspiration from is currently under dictatorship that is compromising the economies of individuals, why don't you go there and tell Trump he is destroying the lives of people? Even Sam Pyne Agrees the people of Kumasi are stubborn.

It is the same way we have handled Accra and everywhere is a mess. Traders have taken over all pesdestrian walkways and forced pedestrians to compete with vehicles on the road. This has resulted in numerous knock downs, injuries and deaths. Abi those who get injured, die or suffer permanent disability they do not have rights, it is those who sell that have rights. We talk of Rwanda as an example of a country that works. Go there and see if you can even walk over a lawn to talk of selling on the streets, and worse of all take over pedestrian walkway. If we don't move away from this nonsense of irresponsible claim of human rights, we will go nowhere. It is the same thing about galamsey. When they talk about flushing them out, then your kind will say what do they live on, find them alternatives, but the million others who get poisoned by the few murderous individuals engaged in galamsey are of no concern to you.

We are Africans and never want to do the right thing until an unusual pressure is applied. That is who we are, indiscipline.

Idiotic fool.

i support the mayo 1000000 times, He must clear the traders away from the pavement,
pavements are ment for the people to walk, not for traders.
even those stores owners who sometimes display their goods infront of their stores must be dealt with decisively.
Kumasi in the olden days was more beautiful than any city in Africa, why has it turned to be like dent of gabbages and no go area?
once a garden city is now like a refuse damp spots.
the recalcitrancy in Kumasi is beyond stupidity , rule of law cannot be applied .
the mayor must apply force.
They should release the military into the streets of kumasi to deal with the devil in the traders who are selling and displaying their goods on the pavement.
if Persuasion fails force must applied.
The broader interest of clearing them away from the pavement is of national interest than individual interest.
how could kumasi boost of tourism now the kumasi international Airport is opened for Airtraffic while the city is choked and dirty ?

allow him to do his job.
Tree planting in the city of kumasi must be a priority.
any person who is againt the mayors plan is an enemy to the redevelopmet of kumasi for it beauty

What measures did, had and do Amnesty International take to to educate the people off the streets prior to the Mayors strategic measures to sanitize the city? We don't exist in isolation away from the issues and challenges of our life development Agenda. So what i would suggest is that Amnesty should come down to the ground and understand the issues and challenges that confront us all together and partner the Mayor's Agenda for the city better than empty criticism. Good luck!

Surprisingly the only law Ghanaians obey is the signage at Public Toilets indicating Female and Male.
Asides that Ghanaians remain recalcitrants.
I want some body to challenge me if am right or wrong.
