A former Mayor of Kumasi and a flagbearer hopeful of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kojo Bonsu, has said that the Rattray Park project which he spear-headed was one of his best investments as a Mayor for the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA).
He said even though the budget for the Rattary Park was $4.4 million, he ended up spending just about GHc 6million, an equivalent of about $1.2 million.
