Mrs Joana Appiah-Dwomoh, Deputy Ashanti Regional Minister, at the week-end called on members of the Kumasi Sub-Metropolitan Councils to open a new chapter in the administration of the metropolis. She said they should prove to the residents and the country as a whole that Kumasi has got men of integrity, who can measure up to expectation by striving to keep the metropolis clean at all times. Mrs Appiah-Dwomoh was speaking at the inauguration of the Bantama, Subin, Manhyia and Asokwa Sub- Metropolitan Councils in Kumasi on Saturday.
The Deputy Regional Minister said everybody has been yearning for the inauguration of the councils and, therefore, charged the members to prove their worth in view of the high expectations of residents to see changes in the metropolis. Mrs Appiah-Dwomoh asked assembly members, who were in the administration of the past Sub- Metropolitan Councils to search their hearts and find out whether they performed up to expectation and, if they did not, then they must mend their ways and perform better.
Nana Akwasi Agyemang, the Metropolitan Chief Executive, noted that Kumasi is a fast growing city with its attendant pressures on
available infrastructure. It is, therefore, envisaged that the Sub-Metropolitan Councils would enhance and improve upon the operations of the assembly.
