The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) is struggling to raise funds to relocate temporary occupants along the Ahodwo–Santasi stretch, a situation that is slowing efforts to begin the long-awaited dualisation of the road. More than a month after the assembly directed car dealers, mechanics, taxi operators and squatters to vacate the area, the stretch remains congested, as authorities work to secure and prepare alternative trading sites for those affected. The relocation exercise is critical to clearing the way for the Santasi–Ahodwo road project, which was officially announced by the KMA on September 24, 2025. At the time, temporary occupants were asked to leave the demarcated areas by October 31, 2025, to allow construction to proceed.
