KMA to rehabilitate Kumasi Central Market
Kumasi, June 29, Ghanadot/GNA –
The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) would soon start with
the rehabilitation of the Kumasi Central Market which was
gutted by fire last month into a modern complex market.

suspecting stores would not be allocated to them after its
completion.

(AGM) of the Kumasi Diocesan Lay Movement Council of the
Methodist Church in Kumasi at the weekend.
He said the original owners would be given the right choice
of ownership.
Mr. Sarpong said the KMA was aware of their plight and that
everything would be done to provide their needs to enable
Kumasi attain its status as the Garden City of West Africa.
He commended the Methodist Church for its contributions
towards the provision of education, health and others to
enhance the living conditions of its members and the people.
Mr. Sarpong called for unity among Ghanaians towards nation
building adding “let us all be God-fearing as we make
efforts to develop the nation”.
Right Reverend Professor Emmanuel Asante, the Presiding
Bishop-elect of the Methodist Church of Ghana, stressed the
need for the Lay Movement Council to mobilize the members
towards the development of the Church.
He called on all societies within the church to have
kindness and compassion for the needy in society while they
support them to improve on their living conditions.
Mrs. Araba Ata Sam, Lay President of the Methodist Church,
also advised Christians to always keep to the tenet of being
their brother’s keeper.
