They dump refuse anyhow in the middle of the road,\u201d he complained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The restrictions on the use of tricycles within the Greater Accra Region are part of the Operation Clean Your Frontage initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Riders who flout this directive will have their motorbikes and tricycles impounded and given a maximum of a month to explain why their bikes should not be disposed of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"ttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2xtA_8ZRXYE\">ttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2xtA_8ZRXYE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Henry Quartey, has pointed critics of the restrictions on tricycles, also known as aboboyaa, to the part of the constitution that empowers district assemblies to take such decisions.
