The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has directed all businesses and shops in the metropolis to close on Saturday, March 28, 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.

It further called on residents to fully participate in the task.

Meanwhile, the Manhyia Palace Planning Committee responsible for the organization of the 25th-anniversary celebration earlier dispelled rumours suggesting a possible ban on funerals and other social activities.

The committee urged grieving families across the Ashanti Region to take their time to organize befitting burial and funeral rites for their deceased relatives.

The celebration which started on February 6, 2024, with a re-enactment of the Sagrenti War will end on November 24, 2024.
