The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has recorded mixed results in its revenue mobilisation efforts for the third quarter of 2025, with total collections falling short of the 75 percent performance benchmark set for the period.
Presenting the third-quarter report to the Assembly in Kumasi, the Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), Mr Richard Ofori-Agyemang Boadi, said while some revenue centres performed creditably, others underperformed, affecting the overall financial outlook.
According to him, the Sub-Metro Councils collectively achieved 69.23 percent of their targeted revenue, realising GH¢5,028,016.00 out of a total target of GH¢7,262,586.00. Among the five Sub-Metros, Subin led with 80.53 percent, followed by Bantama (72.16%), Nyiaeso (68.07%), Manhyia South (58.09%), and Manhyia North (52.89%).

Performance among the ten outsourced companies also fell below target, mobilising GH¢5,640,345.00 against a target of GH¢8,476,042.00, representing 66.54 percent. Only four of the ten companies met their third-quarter targets, while others—including Crossbell Logistics & Towing, Goldprint, Amansia Ghana Limited, Night Collections Services, and KFMUTTMS Limited—failed to meet their obligations.
The main office cost centres, which had a cumulative target of GH¢24,082,534.00, achieved GH¢20,639,867.20, representing an 85.7 percent performance. However, some key units such as the Marriage Unit, Central Market, HorseD Project, and BOP Collection Area could not reach the 75 percent benchmark.
Mr Ofori-Agyemang Boadi stated that the Committee on Finance and Administration, after reviewing the performance, had proposed measures to improve future outcomes. These include intensified public education, activation of a dedicated task force, stronger participation of Assembly Members in revenue drives and bill distribution, sanctions for underperforming supervisors, and improved logistical support for the Noise Control Unit.
He reaffirmed the Assembly’s commitment to enhancing revenue mobilisation efficiency and transparency, adding that the proposed recommendations would be implemented promptly to ensure improved financial performance in the next quarter.
