KMA boss resigns

“I have conveyed my resignation as the Metropolitan Chief executive for the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly to the President of the Republic of Ghana, His excellency John Dramani Mahama,” Kojo Bonsu announced in a letter.

The resignation of Kojo Bonsu comes following calls for his removal from the highly influential Asanteman Traditional Council.

The council gave a week’s ultimatum for the sacking of Kumasi’s embattled mayor. The ultimatum was on the back of an apology letter by Kojo Bonsu to the council after he allegedly took a unilateral decision to remove Amoamanhene, Nana Agyenim Boateng from the Kejetia Market project board without informing the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

In his apology letter, the KMA boss said: “I wish to render an unqualified apology to Asantehene Otumfour Osei Tutu II and Nananom for any actions and inactions on my part, which may have incurred their displeasure.”

Kojo Bonsu has faced stiff opposition from the residents and traders of the city for his handling of some developmental projects in the city including the redevelopment of the Kejetia transport terminal and market.
