“If you are a cattle owner and your cattle stray and they are coming to the domain of KMA be rest assured that from May 1, those cattles will be killed and be given to the Kumasi Central Prison for feeding.
“Especially, the areas from the airport leading up to Manhyia. I cannot sit here and let visitors get to this beautiful airport and when they are driving to Manhyia, all that they encounter is faeces and cattles, this is unacceptable,” he declared.
