KMA begins sanitation summons initiative as Zoomlion launches city-wide clean-up to prevent flooding in Kumasi
Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), in partnership with Zoomlion Ghana Limited, launched a comprehensive sanitation campaign aimed at preventing flooding and supporting the government's efforts to promote a cleaner, healthier environment. The city-wide clean-up exercise was conducted in areas including Bantama Market, the Airport Roundabout, Asebi, Adeambra, Asokwa, and other flood-prone communities identified by KMA's Works and Disaster Prevention departments. The campaign mobilises residents, assembly officials, and corporate stakeholders to clear choked drains, desilt gutters, weed overgrown areas, fumigate public spaces, and manage solid waste in critical commercial hubs and neighbourhoods across Kumasi.
Mrs. Doris Kweikwor Adjei, Managing Director of Zoomlion Ghana Limited, stated that the clean-up was prompted by recent flooding in the Greater Accra Region that claimed over 30 lives and displaced thousands of people. She said, "We are taking lessons from Accra and acting early so that Kumasi and other regions do not experience the same scale of destruction. For that reason, this exercise, organised in collaboration with KMA, marks the beginning..." Officials say the focus is on drains and gutters that have been blocked by plastic waste and silt, which often cause water to overflow during heavy rains.
