KMA Holds First General Meeting of the Year

The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), has held its first general meeting for the year 2023. In attendance were the Ashanti Regional Minister, Hon. Simon Osei Mensah, the Presiding Member of KMA, Hon. Patrick Kwame Frimpong , the Assemblymen within the Municipality and heads of departments at KMA.

Discussion covered various topics including the maintenance of streetlights, addressing security issues, the presence of roadside traders, and more. Possible solutions were proposed to tackle these issues and were noted for implementation to promote the overall development of the Ashanti Region.

Hon. Simon Osei Mensah stated that during the year under review, the Assembly had made significant progress in the areas of education and security.

However, he also acknowledged that there had been a noticeable decrease in revenue generation due to the Revenue unit’s inability to generate and distribute bills to ratepayers on time.

He expressed optimism that the coming year would be better due to the various interventions that have been put in place.

The meeting discussed various projects, programmes, and activities that were carried out to achieve the Assembly’s vision of creating a favorable environment and providing essential services for the people living within the municipality.
