In a proactive display of collaboration and leadership, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly, Hon. Alfred Allotey-Gaisie, together with the Member of Parliament (MP) for Klottey Korle, Hon. Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, Assembly Members and some heads of department and units undertook a joint working tour of key sites across the municipality.
The tour was aimed at assessing infrastructure challenges, monitoring stalled and ongoing projects, and reinforcing efforts to deliver timely development to the people of Klottey Korle.
During the tour, Hon. Allotey-Gaisie led the delegation through some of the most affected road access strip in the municipality, where the condition of infrastructure continues to hamper mobility and economic activity. He pledged swift action to improve these roads, including drainage interventions, to enhance the safety of commuters and boost local commerce.
A visit to the Osu Lagoon drew attention to the environmental crisis facing the area. The MCE expressed grave concern about the extent of pollution, calling for a concerted effort by relevant state agencies, the Assembly, and local communities to initiate a comprehensive cleanup operation. He highlighted the Assembly’s readiness to mobilize support and resources toward restoring the lagoon’s ecological health.
The team also visit the Osu Day and Night Market and Odawna Market. At Osu, the MCE and MP interacted with traders to understand their pressing needs, such as waste disposal, lighting, and the need for structural maintenance. At Odawna, they assessed damage caused by recent flooding and reviewed interventions being implemented under the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development (GARID) project.
Hon. Allotey-Gaisie further led inspections of the Osu Landing Beach and Klottey Lagoon redevelopment sites. These projects, he noted, are central to the Assembly’s vision of promoting local enterprise development and creating job opportunities for residents, especially the youth.
