The Kumasi Mayor, Richard Ofori-Agyeman Boadi, engaged with residents in the Manhyia North Sub-Metro area on December 15, 2025, to promote public participation in local governance.

The event, held at the Moshie Zongo lorry park, brought together heads of departments, units, and agencies to interact with the community.

The Mayor emphasized the importance of public involvement in local governance, citing Section 40 of the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936).

He outlined key development projects undertaken in the Sub-Metro, including construction of footbridges, markets, and road improvements.

The Assembly plans to embark on several development projects in 2026, including a market, a classroom block, and rehabilitation of a health centre.

The event provided an opportunity for attendees, including Muslim leaders, Zongo chiefs, traditional leaders, assembly members, unit committee members, market folks, artisans, and students, to ask questions and raise concerns about issues affecting their areas.
