The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has recorded mixed results in its revenue mobilisation efforts for the third quarter of 2025, with overall collections from its various revenue centers falling below the 75 percent performance benchmark.
Presenting the third-quarter performance report to the Assembly in Kumasi, the Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), Mr. Richard Ofori-Agyemang Boadi, revealed that while some revenue centers exceeded expectations, others fell significantly short, affecting the overall financial performance of the Assembly.
According to him, the Sub-Metro Councils collectively achieved 69.23 percent of their targeted revenue.
Out of a total target of GH¢7,262,586.00, an amount of GH¢5,028,016.00 was realised.
Among the five Sub-Metros, Subin topped the chart with 80.53 per cent, followed by Bantama (72.16%), Nyiaeso (68.07%), Manhyia South (58.09%), and Manhyia North (52.89%).
Revenue performance among the ten outsourced companies also fell short of expectations.
Against a target of GH¢8,476,042.00, a total of GH¢5,640,345.00 was mobilised, representing 66.54 percent.
Only four of the ten companies met their third-quarter targets.
The MCE named Crossbell Logistics & Towing, Goldprint, Amansia Ghana Limited, Night Collections Services and KFMUTTMS Limited as among those that failed to meet their obligations.
The main office cost centers, which had a cumulative target of GH¢24,082,534.00, realised GH¢20,639,867.20, representing 85.7 percent performance.
Despite the relatively strong showing, some key units, including the Marriage Unit, Central Market, HorseD Project, and BOP Collection Area could not achieve the 75 percent benchmark.
The Committee on Finance and Administration, after reviewing the figures, proposed several measures to boost future performance, according to the Chief Executive.
These include continuous public education, activation of a dedicated task force, stronger involvement of Assembly Members in revenue drives and bill distribution, sanctions for underperforming supervisors, and logistical support for the Noise Control Unit.
Mr. Ofori-Agyemang Boadi reiterated the Assembly’s commitment to enhancing revenue mobilisation efficiency and transparency, stressing that the recommendations would be implemented promptly to ensure improved performance in the next quarter.
