Barely a month into his appointment as the Mayor of Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, Richard Ofori Agyemang Boadi, popularly known as King Zuba, has sparked public controversy over his policies and actions.
As the administrative head of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), his bold declarations have drawn backlash, particularly from human rights activists and the general public.
With his aim to "make Kumasi work again," the mayor has proposed controversial measures, including beating traders, slaughtering stray cows, and bypassing police cooperation.
These actions have been heavily criticized by sections of the public.
