KMA to form stray cattle-catching task force to save newly-planted trees
The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly has resolved to put together a team of expert cattle catchers to round up stary cows in the city.
The move is part of measures to save several millions of newly-planted Green Ghana trees from being trampled by wandering ruminants.
Announcing the intervention, Regional Minister Simon Osei-Mensah told journalists at a press conference: "You know, it is not easy to catch a cow. It is extremely difficult. So, we are going to get some of those people who are good at it to do the work for us".
"We are going to engage them, we will pay them, and it will be their responsibility to ensure that the trees that we planted will not be consumed by or destroyed by the cattle", he explained.
Mr Osei-Mensah added: “We will pay them during the period; that is for a whole year, and if it is possible to have adequate resources to sustain it, then we sustain them the following year, too.”
