KMA arrests food vendors over unhygienic practices in renewed Adum sanitation crackdown

The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has intensified its sanitation enforcement drive in the Kumasi metropolis, targeting food vendors operating under unhygienic conditions within the Central Business District (CBD).

However, some vendors resisted the enforcement exercise, arguing that sanitation management was the responsibility of the Assembly because they pay levies.

Environmental health officers who joined the exercise found some vendors preparing food close to choked gutters and stagnant drains, with uncovered meals exposed to flies and other sources of contamination.
