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.

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