The Kumasi Kejetia Market equally had its share of the flood on Wednesday where several shops in the new market flooded destroying goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mayor of Kumasi Osei Asibey Antwi who is on sick leave told Starr FM\u2019s Ashanti regional Correspondent Isaac Justice Bediako that the KMA technical team will hold an emergency meeting on the flooding development in Kumasi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis morning the assembly technical and the planning committee will hold an emergency meeting on the development. Since my life in Kumasi, I have [not] seen the city flooding like this before. Currently, we need to put together a serious comprehensive plan, our gutters are too small to carry the floodwaters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that the committee after the meeting will tour the affected areas to look at how best the assembly can assist the victims and also look at the immediate measures the assembly can put in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
