The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has postponed its first committee meeting two months after the election of Osei Assibey Antwi as its Chief Executive.

A presiding member of the assembly, Abraham Boadi, has expressed worry that the delay in the swearing-in of the KMA boss has stalled progress.

Information gathered by Class FM’s regional correspondent, Owoahene Addai Mununkum, indicates that tension is building up between the assembly members at KMA and the Ashanti Regional Minister.

According to the presiding members, they do not understand why Mr Antwi has not been inducted to begin work. Mr Boadi tells Class FM that the development in the metropolis has come to a standstill for over two years and further delays cannot be tolerated.

“Why can’t we work? The others are working, Accra is working for the past four years, Cape Coast is working, so we need to speed up development in our metropolis,” he lamented.
