WELCOME TO KUMASI, THE GARDEN CITY OF AFRICA: 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.

Dodi Princess

A cruise on the Volta Lake to the Dodi Island located in the Volta region of Ghana. This was during one of my usual vacations where I went on a cruise with my pal - Boahene Asamoah (Daily Graphic, Accra) and a couple of friends. A cruise on the Lake Volta to the Dodi Island aboard the Dodi Princess Boat would enable you to discover Ghana as a country not only rich in culture, but full of natural scenic beauty. The boat cruise on the world's largest man-made lake (Volta) is an experience everyone needs to have. From there you could visit the Cape Coast slave trading fort in the Central region. Explore the forest canopy at Kakum National Park. Enjoy game viewing in Mole National Park. After all that, then come to KUMASI to delve into both modern and ancient West African cultures. Kumasi is the ancient capital of the Ashanti Kingdom. Observe drum, pottery and cloth making in traditional styles, and visit Manhyia Palace, home to the Ashanti King, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. This blog would try to feed you with news in the metropolis. CHEERS!!
