The Mayor of Kumasi, Richard Ofori Agyemang Boadi, fondly known as King Zuba, has disclosed that the government will require approximately GH¢150 million to complete the Kumasi Krofrom Market, in line with the promise made by President John Mahama. "We will need close to GH¢150 million to fully complete the Krofrom Market as promised by President John Mahama," King Zuba emphasised.
He made this statement during an interview on Thursday, July 17, 2025, in Kumasi, following President Mahama's renewed commitment to completing several stalled projects in the Ashanti Region, including the long-abandoned Krofrom Market.
King Zuba reiterated that the President's pledge is not just a political statement but a firm commitment to the people of Kumasi. "We're doing everything possible to begin the reconstruction of the abandoned Krofrom Market, and we promise it will be ready by the end of December 2026," he stated.
He further explained that, unlike previous attempts, the current government will fully fund the project without relying on foreign donors or outsourcing.
