Officials of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) are embarking on a massive decongestion exercise this morning in the Ashanti regional capital.
The exercise will see several illegal structures in the Kumasi Business District pulled down. Areas to be affected include, Kejetia, Adum Pampaso among others. Traders selling on pavements are also to be cleared.
Some of them have refused to comply with the directive to vacate the pavements. One of the traders Mamunatu Braimah told Starr News they cannot afford the fees being charged for alternative places to sell.
“Before they will give you a place to sell at the race course, you will have to pay GHC200 and some of us cannot afford that. “And there is too much dust in that area. My sister started selling there and for several weeks, she made very little sales,” she bemoaned.
