In a video that has since gone viral on social media, the streets of Kumasi is seen engulfed in filth.
This was after traders had left the pavements and the markets for their various homes.
The worrying feature and the inability of the institution mandated to clean up the area have become a worry for many who believe an outbreak of cholera could be imminent.
Comments on the video suggest that even though the new Kumasi mayor may have threatened violence, the level of filth left on the streets of Kumasi is appalling, and drastic action is needed to help fight the filth.
There are calls on city authorities to think out of the box on how to deal with the filth, as it could have a public health implication.
