VIDEO: Former garden city now a ‘boola’ city

Kumasi is the capital city of the Ashanti Region, and it is as well regarded as the business center of Ghana.

The Ashanti Region is also regarded by a number of countries across the globe and even other regions of the country Ghana because of its abundance of natural resources.

Some years back, Kumasi was recognized as the ‘Garden City’ of the country because of its beautiful and sanitized environment.

It is said that everywhere in the city of Kumasi was always clean and no other city or town in the country could be compared to.

In recent years, the capital city of the Ashanti Region formerly the ‘garden city’ has turned into a warehouse for refuse.

Everywhere in the city especially a popular locality called Dr Mensah happens to be the leading location of all the areas.

Speaking to the market men and women as well as drivers who trail the  area  stated how this refuse issue has been a burden and giving them problems as traders at the place.

“We always pay for a ticket which covers the collection of the refuse by the workers of zoom lion at the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) yet the collection of the refuse has become   a problem.

We want the authorities of KMA to help with the sanitation issues of the city to put Kumasi back on track once again” they added.
