Authorities at the Asokore Mampong Municipal Assembly in the Ashanti Region have vowed to intensify efforts against growing indiscipline in the municipality’s physical and spatial planning.

Officials have issued stern warnings to individuals who construct buildings in unauthorized areas, particularly on waterways, saying such actions will not be tolerated.

As part of efforts, the Assembly has recently carried out demolition exercises to sanitize the municipality and send a strong message to those planning to build illegally.

The Municipal Chief Executive Ben Abdallah Alhassan urged residents to halt unauthorized constructions or face sanctions, including demolition.

“This is a fight that we are not going to relent in tackling. We are determined to bring discipline into our spatial planning,” he emphasized.

The Assembly is also prioritizing sanitation, which continues to be a major challenge in the municipality. Mr. Abdallah Alhassan revealed that about 25 sanitation-related cases were successfully prosecuted in 2025.

He added that the Assembly is combining public education with strict enforcement of by-laws to improve sanitation and maintain order in the municipality.
