Kumasi Mayor Hon. Richard Ofori was spotted assisting pedestrians and directing traffic following a major decongestion exercise in the Central Business District. His presence on the ground generated significant public attention as he worked alongside city officers to bring order to the busy area.
The mayor’s hands-on involvement aimed to ensure smooth pedestrian movement after vendors and unauthorized structures were cleared from key walkways. Many residents praised his effort, noting that leadership by example encourages compliance and improves public cooperation with city directives.
According to city officials, the activity forms part of broader measures to improve mobility in Kumasi, particularly as the Christmas season approaches. The Central Business District experiences heavy human and vehicular traffic during the festive period, making safety and order a top priority for the Assembly.
Hon. Ofori emphasized that the Assembly’s goal is to create a safer and more efficient environment for shoppers, traders, and commuters. He urged the public to follow traffic rules and support the ongoing measures to keep the city accessible and organized throughout the holiday period and beyond.
