Kumasi is a popular city and known across the global scene, therefore it is the collective responsibility for all the residents in Kumasi to keep the city clean during and after the occasio, Mr Amoah pointed out.
He stressed that out quest to promote proper environmental cleanliness would gain us credit from the strangers who would fraternize themselves with us to grace the occasion.
In other words, if we disgrace ourselves, we loose our reputation at the global level, the transporter asserted.
