  • Asumadu, Ahodwo Roundabout 9 years ago

    You're too corrupt, kweku dua. 95% of your time is taken up plotting what, how & where to steal. Where will you find the time to restore Kumasi to its former status as the garden city of Ghana?

  • 4 Year Old 9 years ago

    Kumasi has lost its lustrous beauty. Some places of what used to be "The garden city" of west Africa looks more like a village than a city. The roads are bad. It seems like there is no city planners and there is no control of ...

    Let's revive Ohene Police and tankasefuo to "Samane" (summon) all those who make their homes and businesses dirty.

    Schools must use Saturdays to clean up and beautify their neighborhoods as community service.

    The Ahenfie Police and the Tankasefuo will operate under separate judicial review. My proposal will call for constitutional amendment.

    I think the Asantehene has the power and the influence to reverse the downward spiral of Kumasi. To start with he can order his sub-chiefs to establish new open spaces and parks. The size of Kumasi has increased massively in ...

    I think the Asantehene talks too much but does too little. He CAN use his influence to help reverse the downward spiral of Kumasi, but will he? Don't count on it!

    2. employ more street cleaners;
    3. re-int ...

    People of the Ashanti region do not show as much regard and respect for Otumfuo and the stool as before. Let anybody conduct a research and find out what is on the ground and it will confirm what I'm saying.
