The assembly members are not saying the CCTV project is bad.All they are saying is that it is not their priority at the moment.By the way with the current electric power supply situation in the country do you think we can have the full benefit of the CCTV? We need to prioritize our needs.

Sanitation is important but security is more important. Kojo Bonsu, intallation of CCTV is long overdue and must be done at all cost.

I would rather prefer they use the money to re plant trees to beautify my once beloved Garden City. Look at New York City,it has parks and gardens to augment the skyscrapers to make the city very beautiful. The Ghanaian sense of beauty is to cut down trees and in their place , litter the city with kiosks and ship containers. What a vision !

USA- I am sad to note your insult to the people of Kumasi. I don't know where you are right now but I think you are not in a position to know the urgent needs of Kumasi than the Assemble. Right now Patients relatives at Okomfo Anokye Hospital Emergency are waiting 24 hours out side the building day and night to clean and feed their sick, for a few hours everyday, yet they them self are suffering from rains, Sun and storms. pity thief's, wash and bath semi naked, sleep on slaps, can't wash their cloths yet used them to go back inside the ward to transmit MRSA into the Hospital. What is KMA doing about that. Or because most of this people has travel from outside Kumasi their case is not important. MR USA come again.

The garden city has become a crime hub of the country claiming more lives than any other.human lives has been lost.Though sanitation is important not more than human lives .sanitation problems in the metropolis is due to human improper behavior,more due to people throwing away refuse indiscriminately,refusal to do the right thing,apart from capturing criminal scenes to safe lives cctv would also put citizens in check since they would know they are being watched.It is a priority,never a misplaced deal.As for the fencing and afforestation i cannot vouch on that. but please lets reach consensus on the CCTV deal.

The assembly should generate a public discussion on the issue of CCTV Cameras on radio after which the assembly members will go to organize constituency general meetings to solicit views from their people to be able to make informed decisions. I think the idea is good but the approach has limited consultation.

Please assembly members the street lights going with the cctv cameras should be considered. We cannot be eliminating the bad nuts by keeping vigil, we are in the modern world so don't pull the legs of the KMA boss with his good intentions for the city. Play no politics in the assembly.

So, instead of providing decent toilets and lighting in the city, this idiot is going to provide CCTV first, to monitor the bad guys who would defecate in the city - and in the darkness. Warped thinking!

Kumasi need modern sewage systems and not CCTV cameras. Our King, Chiefs and politicians should think above these short term projects. Those who claim to be owners of Kumasi should stop this selfish interest.

To me, big or small, this initiative by the KMA boss is not only illogical but it's also an omen of looming corruption in his stewardship.

What is illogical, they continue to oversee the illegal cutting down of trees without restraint by private developers, for the sitting of unauthorized structures. OMG! Now you plan to spend ¢100,000 for trees planting; how'd this help?

I also fail to agree with the logic behind spending ¢200,000 for the installation of CCTV cameras just for the office of the assembly, while our human-centered developmental problems are ignored-- good sanitation, street lights and good drinking water is not available.

The case of the cemetery is obviously of no relative value but a thing of sheer extravagance and wastage.
