The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has started using Street Sweeper in cleaning the central business district of the metropolis at night.

According to Maxwell Kofi Jumah, the Metropolitan Chief Executive, the introduction of the Street Sweeper, the first in the country, formed part of KMA's efforts at getting Kumasi back to its former glory and a good place to do business.

Mr Jumah said during a visit to the central business area to find out the impact of the decongestion exercise on businesses, particularly on the big stores, Mr Jumah said the sweeper and the tractor on which it had been hooked were abandoned over a long period because the tractor had broken down.
