    I am surprise reading about projects going on around Oseikrom. I wonder if my people also see these projects by the NDC and if citizens of Oseikrom could be satisfied with them. Mr. Mayor, thank you.

    Kumasi, was the garden city of West Africa before and maybe trough all these modernizations going on in the city, it might regain the lost title.
