Legal practitioner and media personality, Samson Lardy Anyenini, has issued a strong-worded open letter to the Mayor of Kumasi, Richard Ofori Agyemang Boadi, cautioning him against the use of brute force in his planned decongestion exercise.
The Mayor, during a press conference on Monday, April 14, announced that the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) would begin a forceful decongestion operation from Wednesday, April 16, targeting traders who have taken over pavements and roadside spaces in the city.
He claimed previous strategies-such as arrests and seizure of goods-had failed to deter the traders, who consistently return in defiance of city by-laws.
He blamed these traders for the worsening congestion and growing disorder in the city centre.
