The Ashanti Regional Security Council has warned that it will begin taking custody of stray cattle left unconfined by their owners.
The council expressed concerns about how stray animals continue to destroy trees planted along streets and other vantage locations in parts of the region.
On some major streets in parts of the Ashanti Region, stray animals are left to haphazardly move about, destroying public and private properties.
These animals sometimes create vehicular traffic causing a public nuisance.
Ashanti Regional Minister Simon Osei-Mensah, who chairs the Security Council, said action will be taken against owners.
“We have tried to regreen Kumasi to bring back the garden city that we all knew, unfortunately, we are disturbed by cattle. Almost all the trees we planted in 2023 have been destroyed.
“This time we are going to take stringent action against the owners of the cattle. We’re going to engage people who are good at catching stray cattle, we will pay them within that period, and they will ensure that the trees are not destroyed by cattle.”
