It is expected to bring together residents, traders, and transport operators to help make Kumasi cleaner and more environmentally friendly.

During the exercise, all trading activities and vehicular movement within these areas will be suspended to ensure smooth operations. The KMA urged all traders, commercial drivers, and residents to comply with the directive and actively take part in cleaning their surroundings. The Assembly announced that if traders and shop owners participate fully, the exercise will end at 11:00 a.m. However, those who fail to take part will have their shops and trading activities remain closed until 2:00 p.m. By: Jacob Aggrey
