The Suame Municipal Assembly has thrown the laws of the land to the dogs by defying a court order that restrained them from entering a land siting a 30-seater toilet facility currently in public use owned and managed by contractors FREKO FD Enterprise Limited, a private liability company in Kumasi.
Current pictures from the site shows serious construction works ongoing in a clear breach of a contract and legal order.
Before the Suame Metro was elevated to the status of Municipality, FREKO FD already had a contract with the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) to build a public place of convenience and manage it and make its profit for some time before handing over back to the KMA.
The 30-seater toilet facility in question is located at Tarkwa Maakro in Kumasi.
There is a suit in court between Freko Fd Ltd. and the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly over the toilet facilities.
The court has placed a restraining order on the Assembly or anybody or entity from interfering with the property of which copies have been served on the Suame Municipal Assembly after they trespassed and started with their works on the property.
A visit to the facility revealed they have even dug around the facility indiscriminately and without any safety measures or sealing back the holes posing a danger to the public.
From all indications, the Suame Municipal led by the current MCE Hon. Maxwell Ofosu Boakye and his Engineer, one Mr. Appiah are allegedly scheming to bulldoze the facility.
This is indeed a clear case of trespassing on a highly restricted property.
Meanwhile, the Suame Municipal Assembly has ignored calls and warnings from the company that their actions have the tendency to lead the assembly to judgment debts.
The Assembly had also constructed another complete toilet facility close to where the company’s facility situated, which is in contravention with the contract between the two legal entities.

She added: “the Municipal Chief Executive is aware the case is in court, the Assembly’s Engineer also knows very well that the case is in court, so why should they be doing this.”
