Kumasi Mayor Richard Ofori Agyemang Boadi has issued a strong warning to cattle rearers, stating that effective May 1, stray cattle found causing a nuisance in the city will be seized, slaughtered, and used to feed inmates at the Kumasi Central Prison.
Addressing a news conference in Kumasi, the Mayor said the decision is a response to the growing problem of cattle roaming freely and disrupting public life—an issue he described as unworthy of the city’s stature.
He urged all herders to keep their animals out of the metropolis to avoid severe consequences.
“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.”
