KMA ORGANISES METROWIDE CLEAN-UP EXERCISE

The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) last Saturday organized a cleanup exercise to tidy up the Central Business District (CBD) of the city.

For the almost six-hour exercise, all shops and markets were closed and streets blocked to ensure a successful exercise.

Staff of the Assembly, members of social clubs and traders were among the hundreds of residents who took part in the exercise that that covered areas such Dr. Mensah, Adum, Pampaso, Aboabo and Bantama markets.

The team desilted the choked gutters at the New Kejetia and the Race Course Markets.

Metro Chief Executive, Hon. Samuel Pye who led the exercise said the Assembly was determined to stop the untidy conditions on the streets and markets across the metropolis.

He said the KMA was currently collaborating with National Investigations Bureau (NIB) to fish out those who littered the metropolis during the day and night.

“We have staff in the video room of the NIB and we will soon fish out those who litter the metropolis and deal with them according to the law, so that they serve as deterrent to residents of Kumasi,” the MCE cautioned.
