15 stalls closed: KMA Mayor suspends tax collector
One of the tax Collectors of the Kumasi
Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has been asked to
stepped aside by the Mayor Osei Assibey-Antwi
following the shut down of fifteen (15) shops at
the Central Market.

Scores of aggrieved traders whose stalls were shut
down by tax Collectors of KMA this morning
besieged the premises of KMA as they protest to
demand the unlock of their stalls.

The traders expressed worried about how KMA tax
collectors maltreat them when they visit to
collect ticket fee.

The traders gave the mayor videos and pictures as
an evidence to support their allegation.

Mr Osei Assibey Antwi ordered the tax collector to
step aside for investigation.

He therefore urged the tax collectors to unlock
the stalls for the traders to continue their
work.

“I don’t like the way you stormed the premises
of KMA today. If you have issues, let your leaders
to come to my office for us to settle the issues.
I have ordered unlock of your stalls but I will
meet your leaders to settle this issue. The tax
collectors you told me he always maltreat you, I
have told him to step aside for investigation. Pay
1 cedi ticket fee for the mean time” he told the
traders.
