Kumasi drivers asked Mayor Richard Ofori Agyeman to finish the Kejetia market project before starting any traffic clearing operations. They said rushing into decongestion efforts would leave them without ways to make money. These commercial operators currently work from roadsides because proper stations remain unavailable in the city center.
The drivers urged the mayor, nicknamed King Zuba, to establish designated pickup areas before banning roadside operations. They specifically requested workspace allocation before authorities force them off pavements. This comes after the mayor announced plans to remove trotros that park along streets to reduce traffic jams throughout the business district.
Speaking with reporters on April 15, the drivers argued that completing the second phase of the Kejetia redevelopment would create much-needed space for their operations. They hope Mayor Agyeman will talk with all affected parties about their concerns. The drivers believe proper discussions could lead to solutions that benefit both transportation workers and passengers traveling through Kumasi.
