This Kwadwo Bonsu mayor comes across as all hats but no cows kind of man to me, just the photo ops. Fool, get about and do something concrete instead of mounting giant billboards with your photos.

Look, what they should be doing first, is fighting armed robbery, car snatching and general insecurity and fear that overshadow normal life routine and everything else there in Kumasi.

The metropolis remains the ONLY city in Ghana wgere armed robbery and assassinations occur as if they are normal way of life.

Security is peace, and peace is a blessing. Let's talk about priority.

Not only the Kumasi pitch turned KPB off from playing for Ghana but the Kumasi village airport surrounded by the Kejetia armed robbers and pick pockets. He was surprised his father grew up in that Ashanti village..

There was Jeffrey Sachs ansd Columbia University urban regeneration plan for Accra, but the plan became wan and a flash in the pan. Is this WCN initiative for Kumasi also going to be a nine day's wonder?

Mr Bonsu is not a Mayor...please get the record straight. He was appointed but not elected which is the same for all those in his same position acroos Ghana in various cities,towns and villages the represent. There is no Mayor in Ghana today....uless those do nothing money chopping baboons start running for the office they represent in general elections. Even then their powers and fuctions under the constitutions have to be redefined, only then they can be called Mayors.

Is this one of the enviness? Whether mayor or not what is important is he is trying to redefine his city, you can also advice your whatever to do something better than he is looking for if you really have vision so your town or village becomes the best, you be there hating them, these people have their region really at heart hence Prof.Mills Ashanti project is frightening.You live in Accra and you forget about where you come from, Ashantis never forget about their roots hence even when they live abroad they come back home and they try to send whatever they get back home, they never take any adopted place as their own if even they own a house they make sure they have one back home, they love and are proud of where they come from.Try to love and be proud of where you come from and visit your root to help the place develope and stop the enviness and hatred it won't solve any problem.

Kumasi is like a village here in the US. There's absolutely nothing in Kumasi, when it comes to development and aesthetics. Why do u make a mockery of yourself. Go to Kinshasa, Lagos, Abuja, Johannesburg, Pretoria. You see beauty, mixed with civilized people.

Apart from Greater Accra, all cities in Ghana are just funny.

Accra is only what it seems to be because it's the capital. You don't expect the capital to be a 'village'. This however does not mean that Accra has to continue being the only developed city in Ghana. This is a great step to develop Kumasi and everyone must be happy about it. Is it so wrong to begin put the most cosmpolitan and warmest city in Ghana out there for the world to see?

I am not trying to disgrace my country Ghana but the fact is Accra is just the capital but not a city by international standards. If you look at cities in the world, there is no city in Ghana. No town in Ghana meets the standard/requirements of a city in Ghana. Kumasi is just a big village whiles Accra is just a capital but also a big village. Just consider open defecation, dusty sidewalks and bogey streets, plus dirty open gutters and mosquitoes, you can't call any town in Ghana a city.

I hope this is not another opportunity to waste the taxpayers' money. In terms of priority, I doubt whether he is doing the right thing at the right time. I stand to be corrected, though.

He should start first by outlawing the following barbaric customs:

--Thrusting sword through the jaws of innocent people, spilling blood on some rotting stool and feet, calling it "enstoolment"

--Clubbing innocent people to death to accompany some disease-deceased men in their graves.. and more!

Going to malams and jujumen to sacrifice their families for money and more...

Kojo Bonsu is a man with vision for Kumasi, hoping something good come out of this project. Kumasi as matter fact being ignore by the government, the city of Kumasi is being developed by is own people. Meanwhile, the government is using it resource developing other towns to become cities which its inhabitant still don`t appreciate and continue throwing venom on them. Good job Kojo I'm on your side.

We elevate non-performing persons in position to tin gods with these useless "honorables" and the irony is these people don't perform to even deserve these titles.

With vissionary leaders we could have done a lot ourselves unfortunately Asantehene has sold every peace of land left in the city. Kumasi doesn,t even have a Public Park. No place to take your children out to. Shame, Sad

"WCN aims to accelerate development of urban infrastructure and the operational systems which deliver greatest resilience."

Our EU membership will trigger double acceleration of development and Kumasi will look like a Zongo compared to Asamankese.

This should be news on Ghanaweb also.
