The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) will commence a revenue enforcement operation on June 22nd, targeting unpaid business operating permits, property rates, and rent. The action aims to recover outstanding debts owed to the Assembly by businesses and property owners within Accra. The AMA has not specified the exact number of properties or businesses affected, but indicates a significant number are in arrears. Enforcement will involve the locking up of commercial establishments and potential seizure of properties. This move is part of a broader effort to improve revenue collection and fund municipal services. Officials state the enforcement is a last resort following previous attempts to solicit payment. The AMA encourages debtors to settle their obligations before the enforcement date to avoid disruption.
