KMA extends decongestion exercise to KNUST junction

Pictures show security personnel of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) demolishing unauthorised structures that have sprung up at Ayigya along the main road from the KNUST junction towards the centre of Kumasi.
The KMA has intensified its decongestion exercise by extending it outside the central business district of the metropolis to other suburbs where unauthorised structures have sprung up along the roadside.
The assembly has earmarked about ¢1.1 billion for both the first and second phases of the decongestion exercise.
The exercise is meant to prevent traders from transacting business at unauthorised places in the metropolis and to remove all unauthorised structures from the ceremonial and ring roads and the railway lines in all parts of the metropolis.

The entire exercise started about a month ago.
