Richard Ofori Agyemang Boadi, the mayor of Kumasi, has strongly warned cattle farmers that, beginning of May 1, any stray cattle that are proven to be a nuisance in the city will be taken, killed, and fed to prisoners at the Kumasi Central Prison.
“The decision is a response to the growing problem of cattle roaming freely and disrupting public life,” the mayor said during a news conference in Kumasi, calling the problem “unworthy of the city’s stature.”
To prevent dire repercussions, he advised all herders to keep their animals away of the city.
“There is another thing I will want you to help me look at. If you have cattle and if they stray in the vicinity of KMA, be assured that from May 1, they will be killed and given to Kumasi Central Prison for food. Especially the route from the airport through to Manhyia Palace.
“I cannot sit for visitors come to Kumasi [and] from the airport to Manhyia, and all they see are faecal matter from cattle.”
