The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Kwahu West, Hon. Tamimu Halidu, has commenced direct engagements with street traders in Nkawkaw ahead of a major decongestion exercise scheduled to begin on June 9. The initiative aims to clear unauthorized trading activities along key streets and restore order to the municipality. Hon. Halidu, together with his team, visited critical trading areas such as the Nkawkaw Central Market and other identified hotspots.

Halidu told the media, “but a collective step toward transforming Nkawkaw into a cleaner, more organized town.” As part...
