KMA to pilot waste collection and property rate payment system ahead of 2027 rollout

Richard Ofori Agyeman is the Mayor of Kumasi The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has announced plans to integrate waste collection charges into its annual property rate payment system in a bid to improve revenue mobilisation and enhance sanitation across the metropolis.“Most people are adamant about paying property rates, but if we attach the solid waste collection service to it, they will be encouraged to pay because everyone wants their refuse collected regularly,” he told the host, Kwaku Owusu Boateng.

He said the Assembly anticipates the initiative will significantly increase revenue collection, providing more resources for development projects across Kumasi.
