Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly

What Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly does

Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly (KoKMA) is a local government authority in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana, established in 2019 when it was carved out of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly under Legislative Instrument (LI) 2365. It operates as one of 260 Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) and is one of 29 MMDAs in the Greater Accra Region, governing a 12 sq km jurisdiction that hosts Ghana's central business district, major financial institutions, diplomatic missions, and the Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). KoKMA delivers core municipal services including Business Operating Permits, Marriage Registration, Building and Construction Permits, Outdoor Advertising Permits, Environmental Health Services, and Waste Management Services across its Adabraka and Osu Zonal Councils. It also executes infrastructure projects in education, health, and roads.

Revenue is generated through Internally Generated Funds (IGF) drawn from property rates, business operating permits, market fees, and various municipal levies. A digital revenue collection system using cashless software underpins electronic billing and payment across these streams. IGF has grown from GH₵5.3M (2019) to GH₵13.4M (2023), with property rate revenue alone surging 252.6% in 2024 (from GH₵3.5M to GH₵12.4M) following deployment of the cashless platform. KoKMA distributes services through its physical headquarters in Adabraka, two zonal councils, a self-service digital portal, and market infrastructure including the redeveloped Odorna Market (capacity for ~6,000 traders). Internationally, it has secured sister-city agreements with Novocheboksarsk and Kotovsk (Russian Federation) and academic partnerships with RUDN University and NUST MISIS for staff training in solid waste management and circular economy.
