The Ga West Municipal Assembly has served notice that it will auction stray animals in its possession after seven days if their owners fail to show up for collection.
The municipal chief executive of the Ga West Municipal Assembly, Clement Wilkinson, said the move will help the local assembly to boost internally generated revenue.
Appearing on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Friday (19 May), Wilkinson said: “It’s not something surprising.”
“We have it in our bylaws,” he added. “These animals are always on our roads when you’re driving and they’re disturbing people.”
“So, the police will arrest and bring them (the animal) to the assembly. Within seven days, if you don’t come and identify it, we’ll do justice to it. We’ll auction it,” Wilkinson said.
According to him, the assembly has so far realised GHC270,000 from the exercise which could be used to build CHPS compound for deprived communities.
