As part of the "Let's make Accra work" agenda, Greater Accra Regional Minister Henry Quartey has engaged government officials within the capital to conclude consultations for a bye-law to enhance compliance with the Road Traffic Regulations (2012) LI 2180.

The meeting was attended by the Greater Accra Parliamentary Caucus of both the NPP and NDC, Council of State Members, Representative from the Office of the Attorney General, Ghana Police Service, DVLA Transport Unions, and the Ministry of Roads and Highways.

Others include Waste Management Service Providers, GUTA, Traditional Authority, Dean of all MMDCEs and Dean of all Presiding Members.
