The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has directed all businesses and shops in the metropolis to close on Saturday, March 30, 2024, between 6 am and 12 pm.
The assembly says vehicular movement would also not be allowed during the period.
This is to prepare for a clean-up exercise as part of celebrations for the Silver Jubilee of the enthronement of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
A press release by the assembly said the exercise is being organized in collaboration with the Manhyia Palace.
“His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and the Kumasi Metropolitan Chief Executive, Hon. Samuel Pyne will participate in this special and historic clean-up exercise.
“To this end, all trading activities and all shops in the city are to remain closed while the owners partake in this exercise. Equally, the KMA would like to remind all commercial drivers that no vehicular movement would be allowed during the stipulated period for the exercise,” the assembly said.
