The Mayor of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), Richard Ofori Agyemang Boadi, has warned the public that anyone who flouts the Assembly’s sanitation by‑laws will be prosecuted.

The warning came as the city intensified efforts to tackle filth and the flooding situation in Kumasi.

Addressing the media in Kumasi, the KMA Mayor revealed that the Assembly will no longer tolerate indiscriminate dumping of refuse, trading on pavements, and choked drains.

He noted that sanitation inspectors and a task force have been deployed across markets, including Kejetia, Adum and Asafo, as well as in surrounding communities, to enforce the by‑laws.

The Mayor disclosed this when he received several cartons of Adonko Next Level Energy drinks from Adonko Beverages Company Ltd on behalf of the Assembly’s newly formed sanitation inspectors, "Nsamansaman", with the aim of boosting their energy for the operation.

"Anyone who will go contrary to KMA’s sanitation by-laws will face the law. We are giving no room for excuses. Keep your frontage clean, stop dumping in drains, and let’s make Kumasi clean again," he said.

The Mayor further added that defaulters will be arrested and arraigned before the sanitation court.

He urged residents, traders and landlords to support the campaign to make Kumasi the cleanest city in Africa.

He stated that the enforcement exercise will continue daily with support from the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and the Police.
