Suame lawmaker John Darko supports the Kumasi Mayor's cleanup goals but says he should tone down his methods. He shared these views during a Channel One Newsroom appearance on Wednesday. Darko believes the city needs major improvements and welcomes the mayor's enthusiasm for restoring order to the regional capital.
The MP suggested the mayor's aggressive style comes from having good intentions that need better direction. The mayor recently faced criticism after reports claimed he threatened to flog street vendors who refused to move their unauthorized structures. Darko thinks physical punishment crosses a line but maintains that strict enforcement of local rules remains necessary.
He urged everyone to help city leaders succeed without bringing politics into urban management issues. The public remains divided about the mayor's leadership approach. Many residents praise his decisive actions to clean up Kumasi, but others worry about potential human rights problems if his methods go unchecked.
