Hon. Richard Ofori Agyeman Boadi, Mayor of Kumasi, has taken a proactive step by leading a team comprising officials of Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), assembly members, and security operatives to visit areas likely to flood during heavy rains.

Determined to safeguard lives and property from flooding, the Mayor’s team is committed to desilting choked gutters and drainages.

They visited Asafo Market and the WAEC drainage area on Tuesday, 9 June 2026, where some locations were identified for swift intervention to prevent any eventuality when it rains heavily.

Their visits to flood-prone areas and waterways will continue unabated to curb flooding in the city.

In a release issued on Monday, 8 June 2026, by the Public Relations Unit of the Assembly, the public was warned to keep their environment tidy.

The release announced that, starting from 1 July 2026, a special task force comprising environmental officers and security operatives will visit communities to enforce environmental health and sanitation laws.

It also announced a massive clean-up exercise at Abrepo Electoral Area on Saturday, 4 July 2026, which will be led by its Assembly Member, Hon. Bosie Amponsah Mensah.
