‘Who summons the summoner?’ KMA court criticised over poor sanitation conditions

A court in Kumasi tasked with enforcing sanitation regulations has come under public scrutiny after its public urinal was found in a dilapidated and unhygienic condition, raising questions about the consistency of the city’s renewed sanitation campaign.

The Metro Environmental Health Officer, Kwaku Poku, said the Kumasi Mayor has committed to constructing a modern washroom facility for the court.

The development comes shortly after the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) launched its sanitation summons initiative, popularly known as samansaman, aimed at prosecuting individuals and institutions accused of violating sanitation laws.
