  "account": "The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly's Security Taskforce recently took action against unauthorized transport operators and traders near Komfo Anokye Hospital. A combined team of city guards and military personnel removed drivers and traders from pavements alongside the hospital's entrance. This eviction was aimed at reducing congestion, which hindered access for emergency vehicles. The KMA had previously issued eviction notices, but these were ignored, leading to this intervention. After the operation, the taskforce placed \"NO PARKING\" and \"NO STOPPING\" signs to discourage motorists from using the area as a stopping point. The assembly advises commercial and private vehicles to drop off passengers at a designated taxi rank near the hospital's Outpatient Department. This step is expected to ease congestion around Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and improve the flow of emergency vehicles.",
