Today, the Mayor of Kumasi, Hon. Richard Kwasi Ofori Boadi Agyemang, led a special clean-up exercise across the Kumasi Metropolis in preparation for the funeral of the late Asantehemaa, Nana Konadu Yiadom III, scheduled for Monday, September 15, 2025.
The exercise aimed to keep Kumasi clean, dignified, and welcoming for mourners and visitors joining Asanteman to honor the memory of the late Queenmother. The Mayor personally participated by desilting gutters, showing true leadership and commitment.
Massive participation came from youth groups including the Ashanti Youth Association, Kumasi Youth Association, and Kejetia Petty Traders Association, alongside Senior High Schools such as Kumasi Anglican SHS, Asanteman SHS, Bantama SDA SHS, and Islamic SHS.
Assembly Members mobilized their areas, covering key locations like Ash-Town, Dichemso, Amakom, Asafo, Adum, Nhyiaeso, Dr. Mensah, Mmrom, K.O Odumasi, Alabar, Manhyia Extension, Bantama, Cultural Centre, and Waec Drain (Akwatia Line).
This initiative reflects KMA’s commitment to preserving Kumasi’s beauty, dignity, and cultural heritage as the city prepares to host thousands for the royal funeral rites.
